Summary: BUY THIS PRODUCT if you have a corrupt drive-
Review: Data Rescue turned out to be the only product that would recover my drive after Panther ruined it (FireWire 800 drive was corrupted)... Norton wouldn't work, Diskwarrior failed... Data Rescue rocks, plain and simple-

Summary: Panther mauled my drive- Data Rescue saved me--
Review: Everyone knows that Panther will maul your FireWire 800 drive (corrupts it)... Data Rescue was listed on several sites as being the only thing that worked.. I thought, "Ha! I'll try out Diskwarrior..." --But even Diskwarrior failed...

Data Rescue DID turn out to be the only thing that would work to get my files back.. Awesome, awesome product-- I can't believe it--

Summary: The BEST recovery tool for MacOS X
Review: I'm a very experienced Mac user, and I support over a dozen systems. I have a "toolbox" full of maintenance and repair tools. For years I relied on Norton Utilities, but Data Rescue simply blows away the Norton recovery capabilities, plus, it's MUCH faster and has a better UI.

On two occassions I've used it to salvage most of the files from badly corrupted disks. In one case, it recovered far more than Norton. In the second case, Norton actually crashed trying to process the corrupted disk... without Data Rescue, I would have lost everything on the disk.

I highly recommend this utility.

Summary: Doesn't work with damaged drives
Review: This turned out to be more money down the pit. A 250GB WD drive with 3 partitions failed on me, and this product was unable to get more than a few tiny (3MB or less) files from it. Data Rescue X has big problems when it hits a "bad" sector, locking up for a very long time. Out of 140 video files of 50MB up to 1.5GB, only about 8 seconds of the first one was recovered after about 10 hours of processing. In that time the "time left" counter just kept on going up and up until it was into the millions of minutes time left. It just couldn't get past the first file. Very disappointed.
