Product Description:
Do you have a corrupt hard drive or one that no longer mounts? Are other Mac file recovery utilities failing to even recognize your bad drive? Do you need to recover files that have been deleted? Data Rescue 3 is the best data recovery software on the market for recovering files from a problem hard drive or that have been previously deleted. Data Rescue 3 works when other tools fail and is completely safe to use since it does not attempt any risky repairs to the drive it's scanning. Data Rescue 3 is the same software used by many data recovery services! Data Rescue 3 has saved our customers from having to use a data recovery service, which can cost thousands. You will need to save your recovered files to either an internal or external hard drive (USB or FireWire), removable media device (such as a Zip or MO) or a networked drive. An optional emergency bootable DVD is available.
What's new in this version:
- Data Rescue 3 runs on OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) and later, including OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) and OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard)
- Data Rescue 3 sports a brand new Graphical User Interface, with animated visual effects.
- Many (over 100) new Reconstructed file types have been added for Deleted and Deep scans. See the last section of this file for a current list of supported types.
- A powerful new feature called FileIQ allows Data Rescue 3 to learn about new file types from user-supplied samples. This greatly extends the number of potential Reconstructed file types supported.
- A new File Previewer feature, which can preview many file types prior to recovery.

I guess Prosoft hasn't noticed there's a recession on. I, for one, cannot afford to upgrade from Data Rescue II for $65. While this is a decent discount from the retail price of $99, in my book, in these times, they are both overpriced.

Any customer who purchased Data Rescue 3 earlier can contact Prosoft directly to get a new boot DVD download link for free (if you paid to have a Data Rescue 3 DVD shipped to you, Prosoft will re-ship you the latest DVD this time at no additional cost---Just contact Prosoft sales (check prosoft website for contact info)..

Reasonable cost especially for the tech license when working on customer hard drives each week.
I hadn't actually run into any crashes with 3.0.0, but late yesterday the 3.0.1 update was released to address crashes & stability.
Generally as soon as I know a drive has bad sectors, I use Data Rescue to do the recovery, because it will do multiple attempts of the file (rarely, but sometimes a 2nd or 3rd try actually results in a successful read), and will continue meaning it takes less of my time to recover the files.
I'll post more once I've had to a chance to use it for a couple of weeks, possibly with more difficult drives, the most recent 2 happened to be working fairly well.
