Test & Review: Minitool Mac Data Recovery

Minitool Mac Data Recovery is a free and effective Mac data recovery software. However, do not be fooled with the word 'free' - it is only free if you only need to recover 1GB worth of information from a hard drive that is not physically damaged. Of course, you can opt for the $69 version, but is it really worth it? We break it down for you and test Minitool Mac Data Recovery to see if it is worth the money paid.

Part 1 Review of Minitool Mac Data Recovery

  1. Pros: Fast scan and recovery for HDDs.
  2. Cons: It only recovers music and video files partially from reformatted drives and lost files.
  3. In a nutshell: Based on our Minitool Mac Data Recovery tests, the software works well when you need to retrieve lost pictures and documents. However, it does not fare well when it comes to music and video files. This is a big disappointment as they market themselves as a comprehensive data recovery tool - which means it should be able to fully recover all types of files. Scan and recovery speeds are highly commendable for HDDs, but it comes below average with SSDs.

For this Minitool Mac Data Recovery review, we simulated two scenarios: lost file and reformatted drive. In both situations, the data recovery tool did incredibly well at recovering photos and documents. However, when it comes to music and video file, the software is unable to fully recover certain file formats. For example, a lot of the MP4 files are only partially recovered - either in one single short snippet or multiple short snippets. While this is unacceptable for us, sometimes desperate times requires desperate means - theoretically, if you have a song or video cut into several shorter snippets, you can stitch them up together. This will take a long time and we do not consider this as a success.

On a brighter note, we like that the software was able to scan and recover HDDs quickly - the speed varies between 150-200GB per hour. Unfortunately, it does not work as fast when users need to scan and recover data on an SSD. The scanning and recovery speeds vary largely, between 85-180 GB per hour.

We love that the data recovery software is easy to use. When you first use it, there is an easy-to-follow instruction sequence to orientate users. While the interface of its "Home" makes it great for users to begin their data recovery journey, some of its subsequent interface designs need minor tweaks such as labeling the "Save" button and provide information on what certain buttons are meant to do.
