a review by Tom Piper
Corrupted camera card? Lost photos? No backup? Missing or lost the only copy of pictures and need to get them back? All is not lost, there is a solution!
Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery v4.1 is an outstanding utility that recovers lost or deleted data because of formatting of a volume or corruption. This Mac data recovery software from Stellar successfully recovers documents, folders, music files, photos, videos, time machine, and more. The software has a simple user friendly interface which is compatible with 10.7. Lion, 10.6 Snow leopard and older Mac Operating Systems including 10.5 Leopard, 10.4 Tiger, and 10.3.9 Panther.
Mac Data Recovery Do–It-Yourself software has an impressive set of features:
- Supports recovery of data from lost/formatted/deleted HFS, HFS+, HFSX, HFS Wrapper, and FAT volumes including any internal or external storage media like hard drive, USB, Flash Drive, SATA, IDE, and SCSI;
- Recovers Digital Media like photos, audio-video files from SD, XD, MMC and other flash memory storages;
- 100% risk-free Mac file recovery allows you to scan the media on which you have lost/deleted data, and provides you with preview of the files/data that can be recovered;
- Recovers data and maintains the original files names and extensions in most of the cases (in case of extreme corruption, the files may be recovered in RAW format whereby the files will not have their original filenames and extensions); and
- Boot DVD support which helps you recover your data even from a computer whose drive may not mount or only partially mount by using the Boot DVD to start your system through universal Mac operating systems compatible with both Intel and PowerPC.
Stellar emphasizes that it’s Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery software or any recovered files should not be saved on the drive or volume,which contains the deleted and lost data since this may lead to overwriting the affected data causing you to lose your data permanently. This is common sense, but something often not thought of when in a desperate situation.
Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery is available as a free download (http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/mac-digital-camera-recovery.php), or $99 (download version), or $119 (CD+download). System Requirements include a Intel Power PC (G4 or later) processor, any Mac OS back to 10.3.9 Panther, at least 256 MB of memory, a CD/DVD reader (if CD acquired), and a minimum of 40MB of hard drive space.
Stellar also markets other fine software for Mac, iPod, Entourage and Mac (from Windows) data recovery software, as well as Wipe software to permanently remove all data from a Mac volume. They will even do the most difficult recoveries for you through their Class 100 clean rooms. This is a very competitive service with excellent results.
