PC Data Recovery Software

If there's one thing I've come to know about data loss, it's that every scenario is different. Some can be solved simply with free fixes, some require software, some require the services of a company.

In 90% plus of the data loss scenarios I have encountered, software is required to solve the problem. This is good news for PC users, as software is far less expensive than calling a data company, and almost always is just as effective.

In any data loss scenario, the most important thing is to quickly identify a product to recover your files easily and efficiently. But given the large number of recovery tools available, this decision can be difficult.

Given that most recovery products are powerful enough to quickly find your lost files, I tend to focus user-friendliness and tech-support when selecting a program. Today's data recovery products should have both powerful recovery tools and enough sophistication to know the right tools to use - without needing to ask the user.

Three other important features to look for in recovery software:

1. Product effectiveness: Does the product do what it's intended to do?
2. Company: Support and reputation, does the company stand by and support their products?
3. Value: Is the product priced appropriately given what it accomplishes?

When a product meets each of these criteria to an acceptable level, I consider it a product worth purchasing. ParetoLogic's Data Recovery Pro is a powerful, easy-to-use recovery tool for Windows PCs. If you need Data Recovery Software, trying a free test scan of Data Recovery Pro is a great place to start.

Also, I'm often asked whether hiring a professional data recovery service to find your lost files is worth the money. My answer? Not unless the files are so valuable that losing them would cost you thousands of dollars or more.
