- The best one out there. It can edit/restore partitions, list and copy files and folders and it's very fast. Guest • Feb 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees

recuva and broken hard drives

Just to let you know that recuva is indeed a good software, but in my case it wasn't able to scan a broken/defectuous hard drive (recuva just hang), where TestDisk was able to perform a full recovery.
