The free version of Recoverit will only recover up to 100MB of data. Now for all its advantages (and there are many), I must point out one significant disadvantage… Recoverit will recover lost files from most anything that your computer can “see” as a drive, including:Īs you can see, that’s a pretty wide range of items. It really couldn’t be any simpler than this:Ģ – Select the drive containing the lost files and initiate the scan.ģ – Wait for the scan to finish and then select the files you wish to recover from the list of discovered files. Recoverit has one of the simplest, and most intuitive user interfaces of any data recovery tool I’ve ever used. Now the above being said, this really is awesome software. Just saying that up-front so there’s no confusion. Most users will need to use the paid version to recover all the files they have lost. Note: Although there is indeed a free option for using Recoverit, the free version is severely limited. I recently had the opportunity to give Wondershare’s Recoverit Free Data Recovery Software a try, and overall I’m pretty impressed. I’ve used several of these tools over the years with various levels of success, and I’m always on the lookout for something better. Luckily, there are data recovery tools you can use to recover lost files from a damaged or corrupted drive when the need arrives. Of course you’ll probably be able to recover those lost files if you have a recent backup on hand, but what if the file(s) you need to recover aren’t included in your backup set?Įven worse, what if your backup gets lost or corrupted?

It’s a fact of modern life: If you use a computer you WILL lose important files at some point due to a drive crash or some other unforeseen catastrophe.
