R-Studio

Originally developed as a solution for IT experts, R-Studio is a comprehensive solution for data recovery on Windows systems with support for FAT16/FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, Mac partitions (HFS/HFS ) and Linux partitions (ext2/ext3/et4). It can perform recovery on both local drives and network drives, even if the partitions are damaged, formatted or deleted.

R-Studio offers users some neat features like recovering data and files lost due to a virus, lost data due to a power outage and attempt to recover files from previously existing partitions.

One lovely feature of this paid software solution is, unlike various other rivals, they keep it updated constantly ironing out any known bugs and adding useful features -- one of the reasons it gets our "Editors' Pick".

The newest version of R-Studio (5.x onwards) adds some new features to this software making it even more useful in a time when an increasing amount of people are using 64-bit operating systems (like Windows 7 64-bit). Version 5.0 builds on the already fast searching algorithms for FAT and NTFS partitions, it adds a new 'forensic mode' for the technician version, clickable links in the hexeditor and RAID 6 support.
