Wondershare Data Recovery is a Mac utility created for users who wish to restore lost data on their computers. The application supports a wide range of storage devices, lets you choose between three scan modes, and allows you to save scan results for later.
You have access to the following recovery modes: Lost File Recovery, Raw Recovery, and Partition Recovery. Each of the aforementioned file restoring methods has a detailed description and individual scan options. The Lost File Recovery mode is the basic one as it retrieves the data that was deleted from your Mac or lost due to drive formatting or infection. If this data recovery method didn't work for you, then you can use the other two modes.
The program also lets you choose which types of files to look for. It supports multiple image, video, archive, document, audio, and email formats.
In my testing, I scanned an external storage device (a 4GB USB drive) using the first recovery method. The application took only a few moments to complete the scan process and displayed a list of folders on the left side of the screen. Unfortunately, since I used the trial version of the utility, I wasn't able to restore any of the found data.
Another thing that bothered me was the fact that the app still needed to rescan a device after loading a scan results file. And since my storage device wasn't connected to my Mac anymore, the app failed to complete a scan and deliver the results.
Personally, I wouldn't acquire a product that's as expensive as this app if I wasn't sure it offered me the advertised results. Hence, I don't think it's worth buying this app for your Mac.
