Tenorshare Any Data Recovery Free review

Tenorshare Any Data Recovery Free recovers deleted data and lost partitions from hard drives, external drives, and other devices. It offers six recovery modes: Deleted, Format, Partition, RAW, Resume, and Wizard. Any Data Recovery differs from similar tools in two important ways: It's free and it's easy enough even for beginners, thanks to wizard-like steps, on-page instructions, and a copiously illustrated Help file.

Pros

Home screen: The Home screen introduces Any Data Recovery and walks users through the start of the recovery process with onscreen instructions and tips. The Help file covers every step in detail and with numerous screenshots.

Easy: Wizard-like processes make each recovery method easy, even for beginners. But if you're still not sure what you need, choose the Wizard Recovery tab.

Fast: We recovered 278.44MB of deleted MP3s, emptied from the Recycle Bin (with reboot) to a new directory in about 10 seconds.

Cons

No log: We would like to see a log file.

Tree views: Tree views organize a lot of information in a small space but are a bit congested. In many cases, other methods or views are offered. We suggest running the Wizard Recovery tool if you're not sure.

Bottom Line

Since you probably only need a data recovery tool now and then, a free tool makes sense. Tenorshare Any Data Recovery Free is easy enough for inexperienced users yet fast and versatile enough for more advanced users.
