SysInfoTools Removable Media Recovery

Removable devices are more vulnerable to data corruption than internal storage media due to the conditions they are often exposed to, making a specialized recovery tool a useful thing to have at hand.

SysInfoTools Removable Media Recovery is a straightforward program that is designed to come to the aid of both novices and experts who need to retrieve deleted files or data lost due to corruption. It is not too difficult to use, but it offers a limited array of features and a disappointing UI.

As its name aptly suggests, this application is specifically designed to handle devices such as CDs, DVDs, USB flash drives, SD memory cards and external disks. Internal drives are also supported, making this a fairly versatile utility.

SysInfoTools Removable Media Recovery supports most of the popular Windows file systems, such as FAT and NTFS, as well as MBR and GTP partition tables.

The program’s design indicates that it is mainly aimed at novices, as users only need to follow a series of straightforward steps in order to scan a drive and recover lost files.

Once you have selected the device you wish to process, you can choose between the standard and advanced scanning modes, as well as define the start and end sectors.

Three recovery modes are also available, and the results are displayed in a simple tree-like folder structure that can be browsed easily. However, it is not possible to preview items before saving them.

While the application’s layout is far from complex, it is clear that a visual upgrade is in order. The minimalistic design, while functional, is not very eye-catching,

Overall, SysInfoTools Removable Media Recovery is a no-frills utility that enables you to scan removable storage devices in order to find and retrieve deleted or corrupted files. It gets the job done,  but it is fairly outdated from a visual standpoint and not exactly packed with features.
