But if you're looking for data recovery software for personal or small-business purposes, then our Editors' Choice products-Ontrack EasyRecovery and Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery-are likely to prove more useful and effective than Seagate's good-looking but but restrictively licensed software.Seagate external hard drives are known for their unparallel speed and reliable storage features. Seagate offers data recovery contracts to corporations, and Premium Recovery Suite may be worth considering for large-scale business use. Kroll says it takes an average of seven days on its standard plan, though you can pay more for faster recovery. Prosoft says its standard turnaround for a standard recovery job is 7 to 10 business days. The company says recovery takes 2 to 21 days. Note that these rates are for single disk drives of up to 4TB contact the company for information about larger and more complicated drives. If your data isn't recoverable, you'll still have to pay a $49 evaluation fee.

If your files are recoverable, you can either pay $599 to have the data uploaded to a secure site from which you can download it, or $699 to have it sent to you on an external drive. You fill out an extensive form on the site, and then send in your drive with the shipping label Seagate provides. If you can't get your files back with Seagate Premium Recovery Service, the company also offers a mail-in recovery service, as Kroll Ontrack EasyRecovery and Prosoft Data Rescue do. Our top choice, Alsoft DiskWarrior, offers disk repair and rebuilding in addition to plain data recovery, and it does so without any limits on the number of files recovered. It got the same score as the Windows version, because it shares the same strengths (simple and reasonably powerful) and weaknesses (the 24-recovery limit). This is all well and good for Windows users, but what about Macs? Seagate has Apple fans covered, too, with a version of Premium Recovery Suite just for macOS users. Nine out of 12 isn't bad, but it can't match Ontrack's perfect score or Stellar Phoenix's recovery of all but one file. It didn't find a JPEG graphic that all the rival products found, and it didn't detect the two WordPerfect (WPG) documents. Premium Recovery Suite scanned the drive quickly, but found only nine of the 12 files that had been written to the drive before it was reformatted.

I used the deep-scan option that Seagate calls 'Advance & Detail' because the quick option-like the quick option in all the other apps I tried-found no lost files at all on the flash drive. I also tested the app on a reformatted USB flash drive that had many files on it before I reformatted it.

There's also a Mac version that costs $99-more on this below.

In other words, recovering 24 files one at a time would use up your license in one shot, whereas selecting the same 24 files and recovering them all at once would only take up one of your 24 recovery shots. You can use the software to scan a disk as often as you like, but each time you actually tell the program to recover one or more files, that counts as one of your 24 allowed uses. I tested the Premium version of Seagate Recovery Suite, which costs $79.99 for a one-year license that allows it be installed on one system and used 24 times. However, in testing it couldn't recover as many files as our top software in this field, Ontrack EasyRecovery and Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery, and its license limits the number of times you can use the program-and that limitation may be enough to send you elsewhere. In fact, the app performs well, and it has an exceptionally clear and usable interface. Given that Seagate has been making high-quality hard disks for years, you'd expect its Premium Recovery Suite to be a top contender among data recovery software.
