Best Data Recovery Tools

I recently faced an interesting challenge of recovering data from my 1TB portable external storage device. The device's MBR somehow malfunctioned and I was left with almost 700GB of raw data. As per Windows, the only option to access the storage device was to format it but before doing that I wanted to recover the data first!

I majorly used the following tools for recovery:

• Easeus Data Recovery
• Recuva
• TestDisk

As per my experience:

• Easeus was the fastest tool to recover data
• Recuva was the fastest tool in detecting data on the malfunctioned device
• TestDisk was the best tool in recovering data that both Easeus and Recuva tools were unable to find
