FinalData

Note: The newest version of FinalData is commercialware, which means that you have to buy it to be able to use it. However, you can also download the previous version 2.0 to test the application for free.

FinalData is a software tool that can be used in order to aid individuals in recovering lost or damaged data from your hard drive, as well as form external data devices.

The installation process is a piece of cake, as it does not last longer than a few moments and it does not bring any kind of unpleasant surprises. Once you are done with this, you come face to face with a simple and clean UI. It is comprised of a menu bar, several shortcut buttons, a folder structure and a pane to view the contents of a selected directory.

It becomes quite clear that it can be used with great ease by anybody, regardless of their experience level. There are even some extensive Help contents you can access, thus ensuring that the utility is going to be used at its full potential.

This software program enables you to recover all kinds of files from your hard drive and removable data devices, such as SD cards or USB flash drives. Once you select an item, the retrieval process begins. You should know this is not very friendly to your system’s performance, as it uses moderate to high CPU and memory.

All retrieved items are going to be grouped in folders, according to their state. For example, you can view deleted directories and files, lost items and searched files. It is possible to use a search function, rename selected items, view information regarding them and preview them. With a click of the button the recovery can start and you can also save sectors.

FinalData proves to be a pretty decent piece of software when it comes to recovering information from your hard disk or any external data drive. Jobs are completed in due time, the interface is accessible to all users and we did not register errors or crashes in our tests. Nevertheless, it is in dire need of an update, and sometimes it behaves erratically.
