With Stellar, in contrast, you have to wait while it resorts its file list if you want a list of deleted files. Click a location and the Scan button, and it goes to work, automatically creating a full file list and a list of deleted files during its initial scan. When you launch EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard it starts by displaying a list of locations on your system where the app can search for lost data-drive letters, the Recycle Bin, the Desktop, or any specific folder. Since I was able to find the files I wanted long before EaseUS completed its scan, its ability to recover while scanning was vastly more convenient than Stellar's refusal to let me recover files or do anything else in the program while it made its scan. On a 2TB spinning-platter drive that I used for testing, EaseUS required ten hours for a full scan, while Stellar needed a whopping 34 hours.
Stellar makes you wait until the deep scan is complete. Both EaseUS and Stellar offer optional deep scans that can take hours to search every sector on a drive for recoverable files, but only EaseUS lets you search and preview files that the app has already found, while the deep scan continues in the background. On the same hard disk, EaseUS easily found and recovered at least a dozen graphics files that Stellar didn't find at all. EaseUS got it back in perfect condition, while its rival Stellar Data Recovery reported that it had recovered the file, but instead brought back only a useless fragment of the BIN file.
I got started by copying an audio CD to a BIN/CUE file combination for burning to a backup CD, and then deleting the files from my hard disk and emptying the recycle bin. A $99.90 Pro + WinPE version, which I didn't test, creates a bootable USB drive that you can use to recover files when you can't boot your system at all.ĮaseUS impressed me from the start in testing. If you want to recover more than 2GB, or if you want tech support from the vendor, upgrade EaseUS to the Pro version (which I tested) for $69.95. Rival service's Stellar's free version recovers 1GB.
Pricing and PlansĮaseUS offers a completely free version that can rescue up to 2GB of data. If you use the EaseUS app with realistic expectations, it can recover files and folders that might otherwise be lost forever. It's far from perfect, partly because today's advanced disk technology makes data-recovery more difficult than it was with the simpler technology of the past, but it's fast and efficient, and it recovers files that we couldn't get back when using its chief rival, Stellar Data Recovery Premium. But some data-recovery apps are better than others, and EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is the best we've seen. Even the best data-recovery apps can leave you disappointed, because they sometimes lead you to think they can recover lost or deleted files that are in fact gone forever.
