Easy to use, so far very reliable

Pros: Used it so far once, on a 200GB SATA drive, that was intermittently recognised by the BIOS. When recognised, Win XP said that it was not formatted. The manufacturers test program declared it beyond repair (with corr. error code), to be sent in for replacement. I had 93GB data on it and was able to save the 73GB I chose. More use will determine, whether it works so well on other drives.

Cons: Pricey. Recovery tools tend to be expensive because people are desperate. Other solution: send the drive to professionally recover the data, whitch is even more expensive. I could have lived without the "lost" data, most of which were backed up anyway, but I was interested in the program to see whether it holds what it promises. It did.
