There is an opinion that programs for recovering deleted data are extremely difficult to use. And this is true. Most of these utilities seem complicated even for experienced users, let alone beginners. However, there are some rather pleasant exceptions, one of which impressed us so much that we did a detailed review on it. Meet EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, an incredibly handy and powerful tool for recovering deleted or corrupted data.
What is EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard (Windows, Mac) is a utility for recovering data deleted or corrupted for a variety of reasons. The program is capable of recovering files lost due to deletion, partition formatting, logical disk corruption, power failure, sudden system shutdown and even as a result of hacker attack. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is universal. With its help you can recover data from hard drives, USB flash drives, memory cards, smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, etc.
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard can bring back to life any type of files from photos and videos to archives and documents. The utility supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS/NTFS5, EXT2/EXT3 file systems, has a convenient file preview function and user-friendly interface.
Amazing simplicity
The main advantage of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard over similar programs is not some secret file recovery technology. A huge advantage of the utility is its usability. The user is only a couple of clicks away from launching the utility and receiving a list of deleted or damaged files available for reanimation. And making a mistake while doing so will be impossible. The majority of similar programs try to confuse people with technical details that they are often unfamiliar with.
But let’s not be unsubstantiated and show an example of practical application of the utility. Moreover, without it it will be not a review but banal description of functions.
Using EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard in practice
We decided to try EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard in the most combat conditions and tried to recover files from a USB flash drive which has been actively used for several years. As it turned out at the end of our testing we found out that the flash drive had been used for the test drive in the best way.
But first things first. We started by formatting the USB flash drive (8 GB), which had a lot of unnecessary files on it. Then we downloaded 3 GB of various files, including documents, videos, pictures, and music, and formatted it again.
Can EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard help recover at least the last files that are so important? It’s time to find out.
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard doesn’t get distracted by welcome intros, getting right to the point. Once launched, the utility immediately prompts you to choose what types of files you want to recover. And this is extremely convenient, because in most real cases, users want to recover some specific files, such as a collection of images or important documents. For the sake of purity of the experiment we chose the option “All file types”, we really wanted to evaluate all capabilities of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.
Next, the program asks you to choose a disk for scanning and searching for deleted files. We choose a flash drive and click “Scan”. Here we go. The scan took only a few minutes, after which the results of the analysis are available for review.
And these results are really impressive! EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard managed to find deleted files with a total size of 8.49 GB! We wanted to remind that before the basic formatting we only filled the flash drive with 3 GB, which we wanted to recover with the help of the utility. That’s why, by the way, an old and actively used flash drive suited for testing EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard capabilities the most. On it the utility was able to find not only files deleted during the last formatting but also very old files. It is already long deleted files in many cases and ordinary users want to recover.
Finding the right deleted files
One of the main problems with deleted file recovery tools is the chaos of the scan results. Many programs can bring back to life most of the files that are important to the user, but often a person just can’t find them in a variety of directories and files with obscure names.
In this respect EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is extremely pleased. Firstly, the utility provides the ability to quickly sort files by type. Without the need to wander through folders in the output, you can immediately access all recovered images, audio files, documents, videos and even email lists.
Separately, it’s worth noting how well thought-out the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard interface is. If you find a file or, for example, an archive that you need right here and now, through the preview, you can restore it without leaving the preview window. All you have to do is to click “Restore” and then specify the folder in which the file will be saved. Extremely convenient.
