You never know when your hard drive crashes all of a sudden. It could be either one month or one year depending upon the manufacturer, condition and ultimately your luck. In some cases, hard drives will fail within a short span of time. Sometimes, the hard drives will continue to work for a long time. You should note that the hard drive is an electronic component and are prone to failures. If you work with your computer on a daily basis, you are dealing with data and are stored inside the hard drive.
(The bootable/recovery CD/DVD would make it a desirable product, but the bootable/recovery media is not free for home use.) However, it is another tool you can use shall the need ever arise to have to recover deleted/lost files or partitions (and other tools don’t do the job for you).Data is one of the most critical factors when it comes to computing. In the end, I personally feel MiniTool Power Data Recovery doesn’t offer any “wow I need that program” features that would make you want to get it over other file/partition recovery tools. The following chart ( created by MT Solution) compares the differences between all MiniTool Power Data Recovery editions:.If you want donations, ask once, maybe twice, or maybe periodically – not every time!

However, recently MT Solution updated MiniTool Power Data Recovery to v6.0 and has made MiniTool Power Data Recovery free for home.
In the past MiniTool Power Data Recovery was an exclusively shareware product if you wanted it past its trial period, you had to buy it. Update: My MT Solution contact has also confirmed they have no connection to CHENGDU YIWO Tech Development Co.) assures me they have no connection with MT Solution. That, and the fact that my contact in CHENGDU YIWO Tech Development Co. Do note, though, MT Solution products and EASEUS products are different enough to conclude that MT Solution does not resale EASEUS products – they are two totally different companies. – the developer of EASEUS products – in high regard, to put it lightly. Compound this with the fact that Partition Wizard is pretty much based off of EASEUS Partition Master, one can assume MT Solution holds CHENGDU YIWO Tech Development Co. (It is interesting to note that while they are not the same, MiniTool Power Data Recovery’s interface has fundamental similarities to the interface of EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard.
Recall Partition Wizard, a partition management tool talked about on dotTech in the past? Well the developer of Partition Wizard – MT Solution ( which, by the way, claims to be based in Canada but past-experience with them makes me suspect me they really are a Chinese company Update: My MT Solution contact assures me MT Solution “is registered, owned, and operating in Canada”) – has some other product offerings, one of them being a data/partition recovery tool MiniTool Power Data Recovery:
