Recuva
Recuva searches storage for deleted files that may still be recoverable. Stop writing to the affected drive and save recovered files to a different physical device.
CrystalDiskMark
Measure storage performance with CrystalDiskMark. Compare results under matching conditions rather than treating a single speed figure as a complete disk diagnosis.
Everything
Everything finds files by their names without making you browse every folder. Use it to locate downloads, documents and folders scattered across your Windows drives.
Ventoy
Ventoy adds a boot menu to a USB drive so you can copy supported image files onto it. Its initial installation erases the selected device.
balenaEtcher
balenaEtcher writes a supported image to a removable device and checks the written result. Select the destination carefully because flashing replaces its existing contents.
TestDisk
TestDisk investigates partition structures and can recover supported deleted files. Inspect the findings before writing changes; it does not repair physical drive damage.
PhotoRec
PhotoRec searches for file signatures when ordinary filesystem information is missing or damaged. Recovered content often arrives without its original names and folders.
FreeFileSync
FreeFileSync compares two locations and shows which files a synchronization would copy, replace or remove. The direction you choose determines what happens to your data.
Duplicati
Duplicati creates scheduled backups with encryption and retained versions. Choose your own storage destination and verify that you can restore the files you need.
Hasleo Backup Suite
Hasleo Backup Suite creates backup images and restores supported data. Its Free edition targets home users; business use and several cloning features require another edition.
