Stellar Data Recovery Standard provides its users with an easy-to-use interface. We found this incredibly helpful, especially with files that didn't follow a naming format or ones downloaded previously from the web.įinally, you can make use of a search function to search for files you know the name of, allowing quick recovery access when you make a mistake clearing your drive. While this can slow down the process of going through the files, it gives you a handy preview of the file as you select new ones. Here, you can select each file independently and view more information, such as the name, size, and type of file.ĭata Recovery Standard also gives you the option to turn on a preview. This is presented in a tree structure, similar to using your file explorer on Windows. Yet, we suggest not running a scan of this kind while other high-resource-requiring apps are in use.Īfter running a quick scan, we received a complete list of the files that the software found. However, even with a deep scan active on our operating system drive, we found that the slow down wasn't noticeable. One thing to note about data recovery software is to expect your PC's performance to be negatively impacted while a scan is operational, especially if you're running a scan on the drive that has your operating system installed on. But these scans will often retrieve files other scans will have missed, making them arguably the most practical first scan to run unless you're looking for something specific. Depending on the size, condition, and length you've had a device, scans can be upwards of a few hours. Deep scans search absolutely everything on a drive and then presents its findings in a tree-branch list, making the results easily visible.ĭeep scans, however, are longer than regular scans. When selecting an option, you can opt to do a deep scan. This makes restoring documents a breeze and helps save time versus doing a full storage scan.īut what if you want to restore everything? Well, Data Recovery Standard can aid with that as well. If, however, you have a specific file you're looking for, and you know the file type, you can specify for the scan to only return files of that type. You can scan all, which brings a list of files and folders while practical, this adds significantly more time to the scan process. Upon opening the application, Data Recovery presents a few options to choose from, determining how the software finds these files. Stellar's Data Recovery Standard's primary function is to restore files on any drive visible on your device.
