With the development of society, we can not separate from network, but risks exist in network. Especially when network is applied to more and more fields, data stored in computer become more and more valuable. So, data loss becomes the last thing every user wants to see. However, there is no absolutely safe data security solution. Adding the increase of malicious invasion, data loss happens frequently. Naturally, data recovery becomes the only solution after data loss, but data recovery companies often charge so much high data recovery fees. So, more users resort to data recovery software. Nevertheless, we can download free data recovery software, but most of the time we can not use it freely. Though costs spent in buying this kind software are much less than that charged by data recovery companies, users are more willing to select the software offering free data recovery service. Is there data recovery software we can free download and free use it? The answer is positive. The free editions of MiniTool Power Data Recovery and MiniTool Mac Data Recovery which are developed by MiniTool Solution Ltd. are the very choices.

The best data recovery software
To evaluate a data recovery software, we should consider not only functions but also data recovery speed, success rate, and so on. Judging from these aspects, these 2 pieces of free data recovery software developed by MiniTool Solution Ltd. are undoubtedly the best data recovery software.
1. Functions: both of them have the similar functions, and they can help us recover deleted data and lost data caused by partition loss, partition damage or other factors.
2. Digital Media Recovery: both of them specially offer users digital media recovery module, because commonly lost files are digital media files. With this module, we can find lost digital media files and accomplish digital media recovery quickly.
3. CD/DVD Recovery: this module is only provided in MiniTool Power Data Recovery, because CO-ROM has been canceled from Mac computer. For sake of concision and convenience, MiniTool Solution Ltd. cancels this functional module from MiniTool Mac Data Recovery, too. By using MiniTool Power Data Recovery, we can recover lost CD/DVD data much easily.
4. Advanced Filter and Preview: to facilitate finding desired files, these 2 pieces of free data recovery software offer Advanced Filter function and File Preview function. So, we can quickly filter files according to extension name, date, or file name and preview lost files.

Of course, they have other powerful functions, and I do not need to introduce them one by one. Next, let me demonstrate how to recover lost pictures.
