I’d like to argue that it is those professionals that actually know what they’re talking about.
Now I have seen plenty of people claiming that of course data recovery professionals will try put Spinrite in a bad light because it’s in their interest that people bring drives to their companies. More cautionary tales on Spinrite in Luke’s forum. – Excellent debunking of claims made by Spinrite done by Franc Zabkar.

Update Jan 2020: If you want more Spinrite debunking, or maybe if you think I am full of shit, I recommend you do some more reading: In that case you need file recovery software. If you need to undelete or recover files from a corrupt file system, a formatted or deleted partition you’ll be wasting your time using Spinrite.
įirstly it is important to stress that Spinrite is not file recovery software. I decided to do this post after having a yet another discussion here. All over the web you will find people who unfortunately suggest to run Spinrite for the purpose of recovery of data from ‘dead’ disks. I am mainly interested in the data recovery portion of Spinrite. What it actually can do can be done faster and safer using other, sometimes free, software. Using Spinrite for the purpose of data recovery is bad practice. It is safer (read-only) and more effective due to lower level hardware access. If you’re struggling to get data of a disk that’s ill behaving due to bad sectors, instead use something like HDDSuperClone ( ). It is not my intention to change the fanatic’s opinion but I hope you will think twice before using Spinrite for the purpose of data recovery.

However every so often I get tangled up in discussions where I feel the need to explain that Spinrite is not data recovery software and that the perceived magic Spinrite performs is not magic. I am willing to accept loss of files so long as I at least do what I can to get the information/executables off the bad drive.Why Spinrite is not Data Recovery software.

Is Spinrite still "the PC industry's #1 mass storage data recovery & maintenance The home page has not been updated since May 23, 2010.ĭoes anyone have experience with either or both of these programs? Plus, it looks like Spinrite has not been update for a few years. I have not yet used Spinrite because I need to purchase it and coming up with $90 is not the easiest thing to do right now.

I downloaded the Trial of HDD Generator 2011 and it is in a pre-scan and has found bad sectors. Of course, if I had to purchase some of the software which I downloaded and saved on this bad drive, it would cost several hundred dollars because the software vendors for many of the titles no longer make the version I purchased and will not allow a download of previous versions. The info on this disk was only partially backed up because it did not contain mission-critical files. When I tried to initialize the disk (and even with HDD Generator 2011), it shows that my drive is about 11 PetaBytes in size (that might have been really cool if that were truly the case). I purchased an external (USB) HDD kit and connected my nearly dead Western Digital 500 GB hard drive and voila, Windows can see that a drive is present, but I cannot access it. It did it with no symptoms until about 16 hours prior to total uselessness.
