Publisher's description of TestDisk & PhotoRec (OS X)

From CG Security:

TestDisk is a powerful data recovery utility. It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally erasing your Partition Table). PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost pictures or lost files from digital camera memory (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SecureDigital, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, USB Memory Drives), even Hard Disks and CDRom.

PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program. Version 6.3 includes unspecified updates.

Pros: Recovered entire 1GB of photofiles shot over the past year. Incredible!

"PhotoRec is fantastic"

by desktopia on September 20, 2008

Pros: PhotoRec is a lot easier to use than most terminal software. It was able to pull photos over a year old off of my Olympus SP-350's SD card, including the ones I was looking for, without corruption.

Cons: Non-GUI interface
