About EaseUS Data Recovery for Mac

EaseUS Data Recovery is a professional data recovery software that could retrieve data that was lost from a Mac OS. EaseUS could bring back more than 200 kinds of files. From the usual files like PDF or MP4 to obscure files like DNG, MXF, and OGG.

For the operating system, EaseUS supports a wide range of iteration of the Mac Operating System, specifically from the Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) to the latest macOS 10.15 (Catalina). To further expanding the possibility of recovering your data, they also support multiple kinds of storage. From the usual Macbook HDD/SSD to your SD Cards and Ipods.

EaseUS has been continuously keeping up with the latest development of Mac OS to ensure the best service for their users. Their latest achievement is to be the only one who's able to recover data from the SSD that was secured by the new and improved Apple's T2 security chip. That way, you would have the security of Apple's cutting edge innovation while still having the ability to retrieve data when something incidentally got deleted.

About EaseUS

EaseUS itself is a brand that was established in 2004 by a Chinese Tech company called CHENGDU YIWO Tech Development Co., Ltd. With almost two decades of experience under its belt, EaseUS has positioned itself as one of the leading names in the computer utility business.

EaseUS has a wide range of products designed for multiple platforms. For Windows and Mac, the main programs are Data Recovery Wizard, Todo Backup, and Partition Master. For Android and iPhone, they also have a data recovery program called MobiSaver.

EaseUS is quite transparent with things regarding their company. Some of the companies out there won't say it outright if they have a Chinese corporation as a parent company, EaseUS on the other hand, provide the complete address and telephone number for their Chinese HQ.

They also make sure it's easy for people to find out about what they want to know about the company by providing downloadable "About Us" documents on their official page, amongst other downloadable resources.

The overall consensus from multiple user reviews on the internet is also quite positive. Sure, there are complaints and dissatisfaction from one or two people, but in general, EaseUS seems to have built a very positive reputation as a provider of reliable solutions to the user's needs.

How EaseUS Data Recovery for Mac Works

For doing such a complex process, EaseUS is surprisingly easy to use. You would get your data in three simple steps, locate, scans, and recover.

Upon installation, you will be asked to locate the place where you'd want the scans to be initiated. You can either choose a particular partition or the whole disk. You could also choose external storage such as External Drive, USB Drive, or even memory cards.

After that, EaseUS will begin the scanning process. The time it would take to scans the storage would depend on several factors, such as the capacity of the storage itself, how much stuff inside it, and how powerful the system is. As a reference, EaseUS stated that for a healthy and full 1TB HDD, it would take around 10~12 hours for the deep scans to finished.

The last step is the recovery stage. After the scan is complete, you will be able to see all of the recoverable files from the chosen disk or partition. You would also be able to look at the preview of said files. Based on that previews, you could then easily decide which files to recover.

Free version vs Free-Trial version

For those of you who still feel unsure whether or not EaseUS data recovery wizard for mac is the right tool for you, EaseUS provides a means for you to try their product free-of-charge. There are two ways for you to try it, the free version and the free-trial version.

If you want to know how the software works, then make sure you download the free version, not the free-trial version. There are lots of similarities between them but they differ in one crucial aspect, the ability to truly restore data.

The free version allows you to use the comprehensive scan but you could only restore about two GB worth of data out of all the recoverable files. On the other hand, the free-trial version would only allowed you to scan your disk. If you want to restore any data, you would be prompt to buy the premium version.

So as you can see, both versions offer a free solution but ultimately only one of them truly has the capability, albeit limited, of the real one. So be sure to download the right version.

Should you use EaseUS data recovery for Mac

Yes, you should. EaseUS data recovery is filled with extremely useful features that are solely designed to help the users get what they need as easy and as conveniently as possible.

And just like everything else related to Apple products, with premium features come premium price tags. EaseUS is certainly expensive, but there is not much company out there that could compete with what it has to offer.

So, if you're in dire need for a great recovery software to restore all of those deleted files, then look no further than EaseUS data recovery wizard.

Pricing

Pricing

EaseUS Data Recovery for Mac has three pricing plans. The first two are subscription-based plans, while the last one is a one-time purchase deal. The first one is a monthly plan. It cost USD89.95 per month and with it, you will get the license for one mac, one month worth of free upgrades, and free remote assistance.

The second one is the annual plan. It cost USD119.95 per year and with it, you'll get the license for one mac, a year worth of free upgrades, and free remote assistance. The last one is the lifetime plan. You pay USD169.95 once and you'll get the same license, upgrade, and assistance as the other plans, but for a lifetime.

There's no other way around it, EaseUS recovery for Mac is quite expensive. Before you decide which plans to purchase, there is one question that you should ask yourself first. How often would you use their software? If you'll use it often, then I suggest purchasing the lifetime option. It is by far the plan that offers the best bang for your buck.

If you would only use it occasionally, then I suggest you pick the yearly plan. Not only you'd have a year's worth of upgrades and support, you'd also get a much better value than just simply choosing the one-month plan. The difference between the monthly and the yearly plan is only USD30.00 yet the length of service you'd received is vastly different.

EaseUS also has a 30-day money-back guarantee policy for every plan. If you think that EaseUS data recovery for mac couldn't solve your problems, then they would refund your money immediately, no question asked.

Features of EaseUS

Scan Mode. EaseUS has one of the most comprehensive scan modes in the data recovery industry. You might think that ten hours is a long time to scan a whole 1 TB worth of data but trust me that is pretty quick. Considering how deep EaseUS scans for deleted files, that is easily one of the fastest scanning processes in the industry.

File Filter. To help users navigate through all of the recoverable files to find the one that they looking for, EaseUS provides a file filter function. You can use various parameters to limit the displayed results, such as file type, size, time, and you can even enter specific keywords to help narrow down the search results.

File Preview. To confirm whether or not the particular file that you have narrowed down by using the filter is indeed the correct file, EaseUS has a file preview function that allowed you to see a preview of the file that you intend to recover. EaseUS has the capabilities to show the content of images, documents, and video files. That should cover all of your basic needs.

Bootable Media. This is easily one of the most exciting features in EaseUS Recovery. This feature allows you to recover data from a dead Macbook by creating a bootable macOS in a USB or other portable media devices. By using this method, your dead Mac will access the system installed in the USB, load the OS, and bring up the EaseUS recovery. After that, you can simply proceed to restore any data you want from the disk and EaseUS would save it to the USB. If the whole process seems too complicated for you, don't worry, EaseUS has prepared a very clear and easy to understand guide on their website so that you could execute this amazing feature flawlessly.

Backup Recovery. EaseUS can extract data from a backup, especially from Time Machine backup and iTunes backup. This feature enabled EaseUS to perform precise and faster data scans and recovery since it would only look at a specific state of your system that was captured during the chosen backup periods. It is one of the few features that distinguished EaseUS from their competitor.

Data Protection. EaseUS has two kinds of protection for your data, simple protection, and absolute protection (also known as perfect protection). When you decide to protect certain files/folders, EaseUS could immediately recover said files/folders if it gets deleted. Simple protection would only save data elements which means that it would only sort of mark the file so that it would be easier to recover later. Absolute protection would create a copy of the file that you intend to protect. Simple protect offers a slightly longer time to recover but it saves disk space, while absolute protect would recover the data faster but it would certainly take some of your disk space.

Recover to Cloud. EaseUS enabled you to send your recovered data directly to various cloud storage. It is especially useful if you have recovered data from one mac and would like to save it in the cloud so you could open it later on a different devices.

Export/Import Scan Status. After spending hours to scan your drive, you might not have the time to restore all of the recoverable files. In that case, you could simply export the scan status so that later on you could export the result and recover the rest of the data. There's no need to scan the disk again.

Disk Monitor. Also known as SMART monitor, this feature would allow EaseUS to monitor your designated disk in real-time to show various important variables such as disk space, usage statistics, disk temperature, etc.

Remote IT Support. EaseUS has very extensive support documentation for numerous scenarios that you might encounter while using their products. But for a pro member, a group of specialists would be available to help you 24/7. By connecting to your computer remotely, they would be able to fully understand and even do what needs to be done to solve your problems.
