- Recovering data from an SSD (Solid State Drive).
- Recovering modern 4K video files (it may not recognize the newest codecs).
How it works (high‑level)
- File system analysis: The tool first examines the volume’s file system metadata (MFT on NTFS, FAT tables on FAT/exFAT) to find references to deleted entries that can be restored intact.
- File signature scanning: When metadata is gone or damaged, the program scans raw disk sectors for known file signatures (JPEG, DOC/DOCX, XLS/XLSX, PDF, ZIP, multimedia formats, etc.) and attempts to carve files based on those signatures.
- File reconstruction: For carved files the tool estimates file boundaries and reconstructs file headers and content where possible. For fragmented files, reconstruction is more difficult and success varies.
- Preview and selective restore: Users can preview many recoverable files and choose which to recover to avoid overwriting data on the original drive.
Recover Drives: Used for more severe data loss, such as recovering data from formatted partitions, RAW hard drives, or missing drive letters. The Accident 1
"On-the-Fly" Preview: A standout feature of this version is the ability to view the content of documents and photos while the scan is still running, giving users certainty that their files are recoverable before they purchase a license.
