Background
The majority of computers today that have anything newer than Windows 2000 installed are invariably using the NTFS file system. Naturally, it seems as a logical step to offer data recovery products that only support NTFS volumes at a discount. Indeed, NTFS Recovery Wizard costs about 40% less than the next-in-line product of the same manufacturer.
Performance Report
Designed to recover data from NTFS-formatted disks, NTFS Recovery Wizard performs quietly and reliably. Using a stripped-down version of the companyís PowerSearch algorithm, NTFS Recovery Wizard can locate supported typed of files using a signature-search algorithm. Its ability to recover files and folders is on par with the companyís top of the line product, Disk Recovery Wizard (provided itís used on an NTFS disk). It offers the same performance as the companyís most affordable tool, Undelete Wizard, which can recover files and folders from disks and memory cards formatted with other file systems as well. NTFS Recovery Wizard is a middle of the road performer.
The toolís ability to recover damaged disks is another matter. It performs exactly the same way as the product costing 40% more. If you only have NTFS disks, and are sure youíll never need to recover data from a flash or USB[?] memory card, NTFS Recovery Wizard is your chance to save $40.
Pre-Recovery Preview
As all other products, NTFS Recovery Wizard comes with a pre-recovery preview. This works exactly the same way as pre-recovery preview built into other products of this company.
Supported File Systems
Naturally, NTFS Recovery Wizard only supports NTFS. Good news is it supports all versions and revisions of said file system, no matter how old or new.
Is it really bad news? Under controlled circumstances, you can be satisfied with the NTFS-only approach. If you have a flash memory[?] card or a USB stick with missing data, you wonít be able to recover it ñ and you wonít need a disk recovery tool to boot. If this is the case, a cheaper, simpler product such as Undelete Wizard will serve you better. If you do need to repair one or more disks to its original working condition, NTFS Recovery Wizard may be just the right tool for you.
Conclusion
Offered at about 40% discount compared to the same companyís top-of-the-line product, NTFS Recovery Wizard is perfect for owners of modern PCs with NTFS disks only. NTFS Recovery Wizard can come handy under the right circumstances. If you have a disk with a broken file system, your PC is running Windows XP, Vista, or Server 2003/3008, and you want to fix it instead of just salvaging data and recycling the hardware, this product is ideal for you.
