And this article will take a look at an easy to use data recovery software from EaseUS Software company. It comes in two versions for rendering specialized support to both Windows and Mac in terms of recovering data from RAID storage and servers.

EaseUS data recovery software offers dual flexible scanning modes of quick scan and deep scan. The first one undertakes a selective scan of the deleted folders and files by using basic algorithm. Deep scan on the other hand is conducted on a sector by sector basis to ensure full proof recovery results.
A majority of files can be previewed before recovery. This can be of great help in preventing unwanted recovery of files which are actually not of any use.
Besides with PCs, It is compatible with a large array of devices that can be connected to the PC installed with the software, such as accidentally formatted sd card, music player, camcorder, Zip drive, digital camera, micro card, SSD, pen drive etc.
Recovery Process
Firstly, you will have to specify the location which needs to be scanned. This can be done by launching EaseUS recovery software and selecting the location which suffered data loss. In this step, you can make your choice amongst connected devices and the local disk drive.
Then click on the ‘Scan’ button. It will initially start with ‘Quick Scan’ and next take up ‘Deep Scan.’ If the target files found in the quick scan phase and can be recovered, the deep scan mode can be stooped.
The program displays the scan progress at the top of the application with a countdown of the remaining time.
On completion of the scanning, users can browse the recovered file by file category, file tree or manually search for files by typing in a particular extension for example PDF.
Personally-deleted content can be accessed from the ‘Recycle Bin’ folder. Contents which are deleted through a program can be accessed by clicking on ‘More lost files (RAW).’
Once that you have decided on the files you want to recover, you will simply have to click on the checkbox appearing next to the file name and hit the ‘Recover’ button before determining a recovery location. You can choose either an external drive or a separate partition as the recovery location.
