Stellar announced the release of the latest version of Stellar Data Recovery for Windows. The software is powered by new device scan functionality and features a refreshed UI designed to help users retrieve data without requiring technical expertise.
To make data retrieval more convenient, users can now exploit the new ‘on-the-fly’ preview feature to view their lost or deleted data while the device scan is in progress. Users can navigate through the recoverable file list, view file contents, and even pause scanning to save their data. This enables users to regain their crucial lost data much faster without waiting hours for the device scan to complete.
Stellar Data Recovery is the go-to DIY tool for retrieving critical data deleted or missing due to system failure or crash, accidental deletion, virus attacks, and other unforeseen scenarios. Users can quickly recover all file types, including documents, photos, videos, and emails, from internal and external HDDs/SSDs, USB, and complex storage array media.
The new version also supports recovering data from missing, corrupt, or RAW state drive partitions. The ‘Deep scan’ function performs a file signature-based search to maximize recovery in complicated data loss scenarios. In case of crashed or unbootable systems, users can recover data using a bootable USB, starting with the Professional edition.
The release includes two advanced editions that serve the complex data recovery needs of Technicians. The Toolkit edition empowers professionals to recover data effortlessly from QNAP, NetGear, Synology, and ASUSTOR NAS storage with BTRFS file system and from Virtual Machines.
“We are very proud of the new release, which offers robust, secure, and user-friendly data recovery capabilities. This upgrade was guided by customer feedback on newer data recovery needs as users continue to use bigger and more complex storage products. Our R&D team worked tirelessly to solve the technology challenge, and we are very pleased with how the new product functions,” said Mr. Sunil Chandna, CEO Stellar.
Additionally, the updated Stellar Drive Monitor SMART utility helps monitor the health and performance of the hard drive in two ways: a Short Self-test that checks disk health within minutes and an Extended Self-test that provides advanced assessment.
Apart from recovery capabilities, photo and video repair functionalities have also been enhanced to support more file formats, including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, etc., and SOWT and TWOS codecs for video files.
