TestDisk 7.0 (April 18, 2015)

A list of best data recovery software can hardly be termed as being complete without a mention of TestDisk recovery software. It’s an open source software that was created with an aim to get back lost partitions and fix non-booting disks. Packed with features and a file recovery system that can easily overshadow that of any other data recovery software, TestDisk has a lot to offer for both novices and experts.

Here are some of the TestDisk’s features:

• Allows users to recover/rebuild the boot sector
• Fix or recover deleted partition table besides being able to reliably undelete files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2 file systems.
• Available on all major platforms such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X etc and is in fact quite popular as it can be found on various Linux Live CD’s.

Being a command line tool, TestDisk hard drive recovery tool may not be suitable for some users for data recovery.
