So this GOTD is in actuality not a free giveaway, but a crippled version of the product. If the product is a GOTD - 'goodie' then it should be appropriately capable of recovering data from a damaged system drive - now Windows needs about 30GB minimum, and most 'OS' partitions are 250 to 500GB, with DVD's at 4GB and memory sticks commonly at 8 to 64GB.Ī 1GB limit is what I would expect from a free trial download. If you are looking for a data recovery program, please do not let my views discourage you, this may well be a very apt, reliable, thorough program.

Thanks for the offer guys, although I will not be taking it up, good luck with your new product, you may wish to help your prospective users know what you are offering that separates you from the free software and from your competition, will you offer them a place to send their hard drive if its not spinning or making a grinding noise, that will offer discounted rates, etc. I see that you offer a Mac data recovery tool, not owning a Mac, this seems like a good idea, I'm not sure if the data recovery market for the Mac is saturated or not. What sets the program apart from the rest? What would make a prospective user choose this product, because when they start their search for a recovery program that will be looking for free downloads.Īlso I see that the product recovers lost data, what is lost date, I don't experience my hard drive loosing data, would that not just be a corrupt fat table? Microsoft's inbuilt disk scan would fix that and other issues for free, how does your product go beyond that?

You can get Recuva from for those that not used it, that's a good site for free software. Is this market not already saturated? Added to that free products like Recuva, allow you to recover your data for.
