hey everyone this is jordan from sleek
lynz calm and in this video i'm actually
going to do a review of a piece of
software that is available for both Mac
and PC and that is called the stellar
photo recovery tool now if you want to
check this out I have a link down in the
show notes that will take you directly
to their site and you can check out more
information there more detailed
information but I actually have a card
that I use for my drone it's my main
card that it's a 64 gig micro SD card
and I actually have some corrupt data on
it
and it's it's the kind of error that you
would typically see when you plug it in
and it's just not reading the card
so either the card is bad or the reading
of the card is bad I guess and so I
thought this would be a fantastic
opportunity to test out the software to
see if it actually picks up the old data
and see how far back it goes actually as
far as the data that might be on the
card if it is readable so this is a
great way to do this so first of all
when you fire up the the software you
have the option of choosing all
multimedia on the card so if you just
click this on you're gonna it's gonna
try to pull anything that it can find
basically so videos photos and audio if
you toggle this off then you can go over
here and dictate which ones you want you
can just choose photos or photos and
video for this option I know there's no
audio that is on the card because it's
mainly used for drone so I'm only going
to choose photo and video here but again
if you choose all audio or all
multimedia files you're not gonna you're
not gonna do anything wrong it's just
gonna try to pull everything it can so
after we've given them the the types of
tools that we want to pull here we'll go
ahead and click Next and this is where
you actually choose the location of the
drive that you're trying to pull from so
you can see these are the hard drives
that I have connected to this machine
this one's not on the screen right now
so I'll just toggle over again again
nothing over here and then we have the
drone so this is my drone card I'm gonna
click on that and you can choose to just
do a regular scan or you can do a deep
scan I'm gonna go ahead and do a deep
scan and see what happens here so I have
my drive selected or my card selected
and now I'm gonna go ahead and hit scan
and here it's gonna start reading all of
the stuff all its gonna start looking
through all the sectors on the card and
you can see it's scanning here and it's
gonna take a little bit I did I did do a
deep scan but I plan on waiting the
estimated time here about 12 minutes so
I'm gonna let this run for as long as it
needs to to see what kind of information
it can pull and while this is also doing
its scan you can actually turn on a
preview so if you go over here and click
turn preview on you're gonna see some
files pop up eventually that show what
it found on the cards so let's let's see
what happens here let's see what it
finds
okay so our scan has just completed it
took about 1112 minutes somewhere around
there and we can see a summary here that
says scanning complete successfully and
it found over 3,000 files in 10
different folders so it's found a lot of
information almost 56 gigabytes of
recoverable data so we're gonna click OK
here and if I were to go in here I can
see the folders that it has laid out and
I go in here and you can see we have a
whole bunch of a whole bunch of video
files FLC files here and we can keep
drilling down here we can see a whole
bunch of DNG files here as well so these
are all the drone images obviously I
won't be able to see these I can just
see the filenames and the size here I
can just keep clicking around to see if
I can find some stuff here but you can
see I have a lot of video content a lot
of photos that are here some of these
photos are kind of junk but you can see
a lot of content here so what I can do
now is find the stuff that I want to
recover so let's say I will click off of
this so nothing gets selected
let's go in here these are a bunch of D
and G's I'm gonna go and click here and
I'm gonna click the recover button and
I'm gonna select my destination so I'll
just go ahead and put these on the
desktop I'll just say recover if I could
spell it right
recover and click create and click open
and save and now it's gonna work on
recovering all of those D and G's there
so it looks like just without just kind
of going through my files just yet I was
able to get a lot of information back so
most likely most likely I'll be able to
get the information off that I lost and
I can go ahead and reformat this card
and go ahead and use it as normal so I'm
gonna let this run here for just a quick
second alright so and now that we have
recovered everything and it's all saved
I can go ahead and click on the folder
here click on lost folders click on the
one that I chose to recover here and
here are all my files just a bunch of
drone images of buildings these are a
bunch of images that I have here
now I can go ahead and grab all of those
back and start editing them or doing
whatever I needed to so I would say that
the recovery tool here was a complete
success and I obviously have more
information to grab from here on in any
of these folders but it was a complete
success and it actually found a whole
lot of information so now that I got my
information back I can go ahead and
format this card and use it back in my
rotation on my drone as usual so this is
a recovery of the stellar photo recovery
tool it's a very very good tool very
easy to use
I love the interface it's very simple
and it actually performed very very well
so so if you guys want to check out more
