[Software] EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro Review

[Aronus]

EaseUS is one of the biggest names in the world of data recovery software, and its Data Recovery Wizard has been around since 2005.

So, after such a long time, you'd hope it's a top option when it comes to photo recovery.

Its set of features certainly suggests that it'll get the job done. It can hunt through conventional hard disks and even damaged operating systems for photos, and it supports more file and device types than virtually every rival. It's even got a generous free version alongside powerful paid options.

For added security, we've tested and rated the best data loss prevention services and the best photo cloud storage solutions.   

There's no doubt that EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard has a good range of features, especially if you want to hunt down and restore photos or videos – but you'll have to pay for the privilege.

If you want to unlock Data Recovery Wizard's full range of features you'll have to pay either $70 / £49 per month or $100 / £80 for a year of access and a year of upgrades – the latter obviously offers far better value. EaseUS are also currently offering a 10% discount for new sign ups. 

If you plan to use the data recovery app often, there's a product that offers lifetime upgrades for a one-off price of $149.95 / £121. All prices are exclusive of VAT.

We'd also recommend looking at EaseUS's bundle offers, because you can combine Data Recovery Wizard with EaseUS Todo Backup and iPhone utilities to get a 30% discount..

A free version of Data Recovery Wizard is available, but this is not suitable unless you only need basic functionality. While the free product does restore files from hard drives, SSDs and external HDDs, you don't get NAS support, remote assistance or any of its photo and video repair functionality.

Previously EaseUS' free trial was just for 30-days and offered scanning but no actual recovery capabilities, which seemed pretty cruel. It appears the developers have listened to user feedback since then, as the free version now allows you to recover up to 2GB of data.

We had a hard time squaring this free allowance on our tests, as after attempting to recover a 100MB folder on a 512MB drive just three times, our allowance was reduced to around 200MB. It's possible the 2GB limit may apply to the size of the drive being scanned instead of the amount of data recovered.
