Micro SD cards and Flash cards are widely used as storage drives in mobile phones and digital cameras. This condition makes them susceptible to information loss due to accidental deletion, operating system failure, power loss or any other eventuality.
The good thing is that recovering from this disaster with our valuable vacation photos and videos, documents or songs is possible as long as that information is not overwritten with other files, much the same as it happens with a solid disk drive or conventional hard drive that works inside from a computer.
To do this, it is necessary to connect the storage unit to a computer and use specific information recovery programs. These are in charge of carrying out an in-depth analysis of the storage unit and providing the tools for its restoration. Here is a list of the best of this class of software that runs under Windows.
Recuva
Recuva has an assistant that will help you recover the files you are looking for without much effort, simply by specifying whether they are music, photo or document files, among others.
In addition, with the list of matches displayed on the screen, you have the possibility to preview it before retrieval, a task that requires a single click. Recuva is a paid program, but
Disk Drill
Disk Drill works with multiple file systems, including those commonly used on memory cards and Flash cards.
Its recovery methods include quick scan and deep scan. With the first it is possible to recover recently deleted files. While the deep scan is aimed at files that are more difficult to locate. In both cases it is possible to use filters to reduce the search time.
Disk Drill is also commercial software, but its evaluation version allows you to recover photos with a maximum size of 500 MB.
Glary Undelete
Glary Undelete has the advantage of being a free program. Despite this, it has a fast and efficient method to recover accidentally deleted files. Just select the storage unit and click the search button.
Glary Undelete shows all the material found and allows you to select between folders or file types to help identify what you want to search for. It also has a filter system to limit the search by name, file extension, date, etc.
