SecureRecovery
SecureRecovery analyzes storage media to find files that were deleted, reformatted, corrupted, or made inaccessible. It supports HDDs, SSDs, flash media, partitions, and binary image files, with file-system support for NTFS, HFS/HFS+, FAT16/32, exFAT, and APFS. Search tools, recoverable-file previews, and recovery-probability estimates help identify possible files to restore; media-health analysis, imaging, and multiple-file recovery are also included. It can recover compressed and encrypted files, including alternative data streams on NTFS partitions. The Windows version supports BitLocker, Windows Storage Spaces, dynamic disks, Linux LVM/LVM2 and mdadm RAID, Intel software RAID, and VMDK, VHD, VHDX, and VDI formats. The macOS version supports encrypted APFS recovery, Apple Disk Utility RAID, CoreStorage, FileVault, Fusion Drive, and read-only DMG files. A demo lists data that can be recovered so users can evaluate results before buying a licence. Standard allows one installation; Business allows three. Licences cost $39.95 as a one-time purchase for Windows and $49.95, paid once for Mac. The software addresses logical corruption, not physically damaged devices.
