MARCO114 This product is darn ugly. It works ok, but I prefer other products that do a better job.

FRIEDDYLAN I tried the latest release and its pretty darn stable under Mac OS X 10.5.4. Tried it with a few hard drives and was able to see lots of things I thought were long gone. Give it another try now- whatever the changes were they added to the stability. Still an 'ugly' app though.

FRIEDDYLAN The new version looks better and is just as stable. I like this application but don't want to see it dumbed down just because of the GUI. I suppose it all depends on the user base you're targeting though.

MAL BRITTAIN Use this at your own risk to your sanity and well being. Crashes continually, normally after you have wasted 6 hours of your time and /or reaches around 3.774gb of data you can not save your initial scans so you have to go through the procedure of re-scanning your drive for another 3 hours. Did not find a single file that was able to be restored. Mac Data Rescue II took 6 hours of deep scanning found every file of the lost 131gb i had lost Stellar 000gb. More important the tech support asks you to fill in endless forms to help them help you, which in 13 days of dealing with over the phone too India they did not offer a single bit of help. AND THEY DO NOT HONOR THIER 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. Do not use this product Use DATA MAC RESCUE II you'll thank me for it.

NIGEL2112 I tried the demo too, it wouldn't see the CF card so I called their 'tech help'. The Indian chap asked me to email screen shots of the software and Disk Utility so they could see that DU could see the card but their recovery software could not. I did so, and that was the last I heard from them. Gee, thanks for the help! I also tried CardRaider. Half the trouble and a fraction of the price. Steer clear of this less than stellar rubbish if I were you.

SBORDSENIUS My 500 GB disk with about 450GB of video just dissappeared, and I chose this application to help me out. Diskwarrior does not work under 10.5, but Stellar Phoenix does. And you can download and activate it online . After 10 minutes with the demo version I bought the full version. The GUI is a bit different from most mac apps, but the application itself performed miracles. The disk that Apples Disk Tool gave up on has been saved, and for a reasonable price as well. The version is 2.1, on Mac OS 10.5 / intel. A very good solution for those of us that think backup is for other people..

CRVERNON Apparently this software does not work with 10.4. I launched the program and told it to do a quickscan of a disk. That was the last thing it did, until I forced quit on it, 5 minutes later.

BAMSE1 It is not entirely fair to call this a review, since I have not tried the sharp/paid version, only the demo. But I would still like to comment on how very promising I found the demo compared to any program I have tried before, in that it did seem to accurately locate drives and their hierarchical contents, otherwise almost entirely lost to the world. Partition maps were correctly identified as well, when even the second most promising utility out there did only locate the first of three partitions. The huge drawback with this demo is, in my opinion, that it does only allow one to view its (impressive, admittedly) way of locating everything (at least as far as I recall it), i.e. no actual recovery permitted. This is unfortunate since it has happened to me before that apparent files actually points at entirely different contents on damaged drives. So, dare I pay for the licence at the risk of ending up with software able to recover, say, an apparent image file in fact pointing as some (part of) a sound file or something else...? Being desperate (and welthy) enough, I just might... I would easily give it the highest rating had I the chance to ascertain its ability to actually recover files as well as it locates their (again, apparent!) whereabouts. Giving it five stars for its locating wizardry seems inappropriate, at least given my questioning as to the restriction of the demo. A demo allowing for at least a certain amount of recovery would be fair, it would seem.
