In their own words
AOMEI FastRecovery
AOMEI FastRecovery is a Windows application for recovering data lost through deletion, formatting, system crashes or virus attacks. Listed recovery sources include HDDs, SSDs, USB flash drives, SD and memory cards, PCs, laptops, cameras, the Recycle Bin, lost partitions and crashed PCs. It supports Quick Scan and Deep Scan; the latter takes longer and scans sector by sector. Users can preview files and filter results by type and size. The overview lists NTFS, FAT 16, FAT 32 and exFAT file systems, but only NTFS supports both scan modes. Supported Windows versions include Windows 11, 10, 8/8.1, 7, Vista and multiple Windows Server versions through Server 2022. The Free plan scans storage devices, previews full files and recovers up to 500 MB. BitLocker-encrypted partitions are supported. Recovery of unallocated space is unsupported, and physically damaged disks cannot be recovered if the computer does not detect them. Professional and Technician licenses offer unlimited recovery; Technician is listed at $99 a month, billed monthly.
DiskInternals Partition Recovery
DiskInternals Partition Recovery scans readable storage for files on lost, deleted, formatted, RAW, inaccessible, corrupted, or damaged Windows partitions. Its recovery modes include Fast recovery, Reader mode, and Full recovery, which uses deep scanning and virtual file-system reconstruction. Sources include HDDs, SSDs, external and USB drives, memory cards, disk images, supported virtual or forensic containers, and readable logical storage exposed from RAID, NAS, SAN, or Windows Dynamic Disks. Remote Ext2/3/4 sources are accessible over SFTP.
Supported file systems include NTFS, FAT, ReFS, and Ext2/3/4, with recovery modes varying by type. The software supports MBR, GPT, and EFI layouts. Its evaluation version allows scanning, reviewing results, and previewing supported files, but saving or exporting recovered files requires a license. Source access is read-only: the software says it does not rewrite or repair the original partition. The application is for Windows; Linux and macOS file systems can be used as sources, and the application may run on those systems through Wine. Pricing starts at $39.95 one-time.
