Almost any data rescue tool will serve you well for USB recovery, provided the search algorithms incorporated into that tool allow for rapid complete scanning of large external hard disks. When searching for damaged or deleted files on small solid state digital storage devices such as USB flash drives, speed of scanning is seldom a factor. We rarely notice if the file recovery process takes 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds. When we are attempting USB recovery of data on a 500 GB external book drive that time factor of six becomes paramount. Whereas FileFinder can do a complete and thorough scan of a 100 GB USB hard disk in under 1 hour and a complete scan of a 500 gigabyte drive in around 3 hours, a lesser quality program will need ten full hours to accomplish the same task. Very seldom do we have available such huge blocks of time to wait on an application.
The quick scan function of FileFinder is even faster being able to scan for existing and recently erased files on that same 500 GB book drive in less than 10 minutes. Even at these vastly increased speeds oue software is still able to recover fully 95% of all deleted files as opposed to only 50% for older lesser quality programs. Basically what all of this means is that FileFinder is faster and more efficient than every other data retrieval program.
