Storing data on USB drives means that you can easily carry it around, though more than often files on these portable devices become corrupted and unusable, thus requiring specialized tools to restore them to the original state.

iStonsoft USB Data Recovery is one of the tools that can help you when data on your USB drives has been corrupted, and which can also be used to recover any files that have been accidentally deleted.

The program comes with an easy-to-use, straightforward interface that makes it suitable for you even if you do not posses advanced computer skills.

You can use the application to recover multiple file types, ranging from photos and videos to personal documents, as it has been built with support for a wide range of file formats. In fact, it prompts you right from the start to select the type of files to recover, for increased convenience.

Once you have decided what type of files you want to recover, the tool allows you to select the drive to be scanned, as well as to keep an eye on how the scanning operation progresses. You can recover photos, videos, documents, archives, .exe, and even .dll files with the help of this tool.

One thing that we noticed during our testing is the fact that this process takes a long time, especially when it comes to large USB drives. The operation is also influenced by the number of files found on the drive.

The tool places the discovered data in folders, based on their file format (such as jpg, png, avi, mov, doc, htm, xls, etc.), which allows you to recover what interests you much easier.

As the tool discovers more and more lost or deleted files, it lists them on its main window, and also allows you to easily preview any of them, on a right-side panel.

All in all, iStonsoft USB Data Recovery is an easy-to-use tool for recovering lost or accidentally deleted data from USB drives with only a few mouse clicks. It needs a bit of time to scan large drives, but it features and intuitive interface, being suitable even for those of you who do not posses advanced computer skills.
