As I review software on a weekly basis I am often asked… “Which is the best data recovery software”? Normally I would respond to that question explaining that the best software to recover files is the program targeted directly to your type of file and hardware. So that if you are attempting to recover deleted files from a San Cruzer USB flash drive you might find that a program built for recover of data in the FAT32 format works best. But if you need to rescue an entire hard drive that is formatted in NTFS then you had better use software that can do a really deep scan. A great deal of data recovery work is done for camera files from both internal storage and camera smart cards. Any program for photo recovery had better be able to locate the manufacturers proprietary file format such as that used by Nikon or Olympus.
