All in all, this application doesn’t disappoint. This means that MiniTool Power Data Recovery might not be the fastest data recovery solution out there, but it doesn’t mean it’s less than a capable solution. When trying out one of its direct competitors, our 250GB SSD was scanned in around 20 minutes. Then, we’ve selected around 500MB of lost data and managed to recover those files in under one minute. We scanned our 250GB SSD using this application, and it took around 30 minutes for this scan to be finalized. That’s why talking about the performance of MiniTool Power Data Recovery is tricky, but we’ll share our experience with this application. And as you can expect, this depends on the size of the hard drive in question, its file system, and your PC’s overall specs as well. So, you should know that all data recovery applications need some time to scan your hard drive. MiniTool Power Data Recovery isn’t the fastest application of its kind – but remember that it’s doing a deep search, which returns better results.

And finally, keep in mind that MiniTool Power Data Recovery supports the following file systems: FAT 12/16/32, exFAT, NTFS, NTFS5, Ext 2/3/4, HFS+, ISO9660, and UDF. Also, please note that it’s recommended to have a second hard disk present on your device – running the application on the same disk which also contains your lost data might lead to unwanted consequences. When it comes to supported Windows versions, you can install this application on Windows 10, as well as earlier Windows versions (all the way to Windows 2000) – both 32bit and 64bit editions. What’s important to be said is that you don’t need a powerful computer and even some heavily dated PCs will run this application just fine. However, please note that these two are separate editions – and we’ve tested the application on a Windows 10 PC (so we’ll focus on that version). You can run MiniTool Power Data Recovery on both Windows PCs and MacOS computers.


MiniTool Power Data Recovery is compatible with Windows 2000 and newer – and you can run it on some very old PCs just fine.
