An interesting point to consider involving digital data recovery is that the actual function involved in information location is not a scan for words. The algorithms used for data retrieval search through binary code. Better programs for file restoration recognize the structure attributed to popular file types such as Microsoft Word documents, digital images, and powerful program applications. Any program to find deleted folders that is unable to recognize underlying code structures is no more powerful than the word search function on your browser. This ability to recognize digital data is one of the features that makes FileFinder a superior product.
FileFinder quickly scans and recognizes the binary code attached to your data and converts that back to text. Too many information rescue programs do not have this ability and because of this are unable to recognize extension types that are new or unknown to the program. When FileFinder returns a list of savable programs, that list includes all of the archives stored on your hard drive including the data that was formerly structured as a file but is now deleted. Remember, when you delete a item you are not erasing the binary code that creates the structure of the file information. All you are doing is marking the allocated space used as now available to write new information.
Digital data recovery begins with the ability to quickly scan for information
Most data restoration tools use mathematical formulas relative to the search that are cumbersome and as a consequence far too slow to operate. This creates a scenario whereby it becomes a mathematical impossibility to successfully scan a large hard drive. Even the fast scan functions of these lesser quality programs are too slow. 
Where FileFinder can complete a fast scan of a 640 GB hard drive in under 1 minute most other programs require almost an hour to complete the same simple scan. The complete scan function of FileFinder might require 4 hours to locate every last byte of lost information from the same large drive. This may seem to be a very long period of time but consider that most other file rescue programs ask you to patiently wait up to one week for a similar scan.
And of course the quality of this search and scan is largely weighed by results of that scan and the ability of the program to return a significant percentage of located recently deleted files. The quick scan function of FileFinder generally returns 95% of all missing data. Should you require a greater success rate you need only choose from the FileFinder options table the slower but more thorough scan feature.
After FileFinder has completed any scan it presents a list of all recoverable files. These items are graded by color as to their degree of restorability. Usually even those files marked as unsaveable are worth the rescue attempt as a high percentage of these still return the majority of your lost data. Consider that when attempting to undelete a 10,000 word Microsoft Word document that has been partially overwritten being able to find and save 7000 or 8000 words from that document would still be worth your while. These are all just a few examples of why FileFinder is the superior digital data recovery program available.
