A $99.90 Pro + WinPE version, which I didn't test, creates a bootable USB drive that you can use to recover files when you can't boot your system at all.ĮaseUS impressed me from the start in testing. If you want to recover more than 2GB, or if you want tech support from the vendor, upgrade EaseUS to the Pro version (which I tested) for $69.95.
Rival service's Stellar's free version recovers 1GB. Pricing and PlansĮaseUS offers a completely free version that can rescue up to 2GB of data. If you use the EaseUS app with realistic expectations, it can recover files and folders that might otherwise be lost forever. It's far from perfect, partly because today's advanced disk technology makes data-recovery more difficult than it was with the simpler technology of the past, but it's fast and efficient, and it recovers files that we couldn't get back when using its chief rival, Stellar Data Recovery Premium. But some data-recovery apps are better than others, and EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is the best we've seen.
