EASSOS has a profile on most major social media platforms, but all accounts seem to be fairly inactive with none having been updated within the last 6 months. It also has a YouTube channel where it uploads data recovery content. This lack of activity seems to indicate that DiskGenius isn’t given much attention in the way of marketing.
Data Recovery with DiskGenius
Tested on: Windows 11 (21H2)
When we tested DiskGenius, we did so using a standardized testing process we follow for each data recovery tool we review. Below, we will briefly look at what this process involves.
How We Test
Every data loss scenario is different. Therefore, we carry out all of our tests (with the same data sets and data loss processes) in the same way to ensure every data recovery tool is given a fair chance. Here's how it's done:
# | Step | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Installation | The application is downloaded and installed and measured on speed and what sort of screens are shown. |
2 | Source selection | Next, we take a look at how easy it is to choose our test disk for scanning. |
3 | Scanning process | After selecting our test disk, we begin the scanning process and measure the scan speed and what's possible during the scan. |
4 | Managing found data | Once the scan is finished, we review our found data and take into consideration how easy the application makes it to view our recoverable data. |
5 | Recovery and post-processing | Finally, we recover our data and measure how effective the recovery tool was at restoring the data. |
This process is followed for every data recovery tool we review, as well as every scan type supported by the applications. This allows us to take a controlled and fact-based approach, providing objective results.
Installation
The installation process is pretty standard. You're given a list of terms of use that you need to accept before proceeding, then following the actual install, you have the option to launch DiskGenius immediately and open the DiskGenius website.
There's no warning against installing the software to the drive you're going to be performing recovery on, but given this is a recovery tool targeted at professionals, it's assumed that this is already understood.
Source selection
DiskGenius is a fairly technical application and does things a bit differently from other data recovery tools. The data recovery process is started by selecting your disk and clicking the File Recovery button at the top, which isn't immediately obvious to the typical user. You can control the data recovery process by specifying what file system types you want to scan, as well as file types.
A separate Partition Recovery button is available for searching for lost partitions. Here, you can either choose to scan the whole disk or a particular cylinder range.
Scanning process
During the scan, you will be shown a progress window. This progress window shows you how much of your drive/partition has been scanned, how many files have been found, and how much time has elapsed, accompanied by a status bar. However, it does not show how much time is left remaining for the scan.
You do have the option of recovering files while the scan progresses if you should choose to.
If searching for a partition, the application will allow you to Reserve the partition in memory or Ignore it. Neither option writes it to the disk and will not affect the recoverable data.
Managing found files
The results window can only be viewed in a List view, making photo recovery a bit more difficult since there's no Thumbnail view. File previews are available, but they're very inconvenient, either appearing very small at the bottom of the window or requiring a manual preview to see a larger version.
Clicking on each file will allow you to view its HEX data, which is a great addition for more technical or specialist users. Using the left navigation pane, you can navigate through the folder and sub-folder structure to view the data inside each.
Recovery and post-processing
Again, DiskGenius does recovery a little bit differently when compared to other data recovery tools. To recover the data, you must right-click either the data itself or the folder containing the data, then copy it to your desired output location. This differs from most applications where a convenient and clear 'Recover' button is often available.
The recovery can be paused or stopped and you can choose to prevent the system from sleeping while it proceeds. A progress window is displayed that shows you how much data has been copied, and this time, how much time is remaining for the whole process.
Additional options are available that allow you to control prompts automatically, such as whether to display a prompt or ignore read/write errors, file name repeats, and file names containing illegal characters.

Now that we’ve seen what a typical recovery looks like with DiskGenius, let’s break down all aspects of the software to see how well they compare against our review criteria.
Karma
12 rating criteria
DiskGenius scores a just-above-average Karma score. It has a consistent yet spaced update frequency around every 6 months or so. It does include a changelog so users can see what new additions are being added each time an update is released.
The software has been around long enough to be considered a legit and mature product, gaining reviews from businesses and general users alike.
In terms of support, it does have an extensive knowledge base, as well as helpdesk support. However, it does not have live chat or phone support channels.

Bang for the buck
8 rating criteria
DiskGenius actually gives you a lot of value for the price point, especially considering it’s more than just a recovery tool. Even its free version provides generous access to many features, like system migration to a new disk and viewing drive sector data.
It doesn’t rely on a subscription-based pricing policy, so users only need to make a one-time payment to receive the full software and any subsequent updates. But, users must upgrade to a higher-tier license in order to receive commercial rights.
# | Feature | Result |
---|---|---|
1 | Competitive pricing | Yes |
2 | Price-quality ratio | Average |
3 | Free trial | Yes |
4 | Is it free? | No |
5 | Pricing policy | Lifetime licenses |
6 | Unlimited recovery in full version | Yes |
7 | Free upgrades | Yes |
8 | Commercial rights in the cheapest license | No |
Usability
18 rating criteria
DiskGenius receives a below-average Usability score, largely due to how technical it is. It has counterintuitive user interface with ambiguous labels for the features. Furthermore, it doesn’t auto-resume scans or backups in the event the source media is reconnected following temporary disconnection.
As seen during our recovery, the file-by-file preview function needs some work, as users need to rely either on a very small window for quick previews or manual interaction each time they want to preview a file.
The application does allow filtering the results by file type, but this is only possible for files found using their file signature.
# | Feature | Result |
---|---|---|
1 | Modern user-friendly interface | No |
2 | Dark mode | No |
3 | Easy-to-locate features | No |
4 | Automatic implementation of multiple appropriate scanning methods without user interaction | Yes |

17 | Multilingual UI | Yes |
18 | Simple deployment | Yes |
Recovery performance
122 rating criteria
Overall, DiskGenius has fairly good recovery performance, scoring above-average in all of our tests and having particular success with quick scans.
The software only supports Windows and Linux-based file systems, so it misses some points that it would have otherwise received if it had support for Apple file systems found on Mac. Across all tests, there was only a very small percentage of files that were either not found or returned with the wrong checksum.
# | Feature | Result | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Deep scan | Fine | Recovered most of the data from our Windows partitions, with some corruption to the folder structure. |
2 | Quick scan | Good | Recovered the majority of our data, even on our EXT4 partition. |
3 | Other types of scan | Good | Full support for BitLocker and great support for lost partitions. Not a lot of supported file signatures. |
4 | Device support | Good | Broad device support, including RAID and unmountable partitions. |
5 | Real-life recovery challenge | Fine | Average recovery by file signature. |
6 | Other notable recovery features | Fine | Supports byte-to-byte copies and RAID reconstruction, but no forensic features. |

2 | APFS partitions | 0 |
3 | FAT32 partitions | 4 |
4 | exFAT partitions | 4 |
5 | NTFS partitions | 4 |
6 | EXT4 partitions | 0 |
A clever scan searches for data using the underlying file system. DiskGenius did a really good job with this for all Windows partitions. Across our FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS partitions, the vast majority of our data was recovered. However, the original folder structure was corrupted on our FAT32 and exFAT partitions. Since the software doesn’t support clever scans of HFS+, APFS, and EXT4 partitions, it received no score for them.
Quick scan

1 | HFS+ partitions | 0 |
2 | APFS partitions | 0 |
3 | FAT32 partitions | 4 |
4 | exFAT partitions | 4 |
5 | NTFS partitions | 4 |
6 | EXT4 partitions | 5 |
A data recovery tool’s quick scan measures its ability to recover files that were recently deleted. Again, it had great success with Windows (FAT32, exFAT, NTFS) partitions. There was a higher number of files that weren’t found compared to the clever scan, but the majority of our data was still recovered.
Additionally, this scan also supports EXT4 partitions, of which it recovered all of our files.
Other scan types
# | Feature | Score |
---|---|---|
1 | The number of formats supported by deep scan | 3 |

4 | Scan for lost partitions | 5 |
5 | Recovered files' labeling | 0 |
6 | Partial file recovery | 5 |
7 | Disk images: scan and recovery | 5 |
The number of file types supported by the signature scanner is fairly low, so much so that the free recovery tool PhotoRec actually had better results. This is a considerable factor, as it reduces the overall number of files it would be able to pull if the file system has been corrupted or damaged.
The software has full support for BitLocker-encrypted drives and allows scanning and recovery from disk images. The software can be used to search for lost partitions, with partition management being one of its strongest areas.

DiskGenius has great device support. It can recover data from traditional internal and external hard drives, as well as solid-state drives, USB flash drives, and memory cards (SD, miniSD, microSD cards).
It also has RAID support, allowing you to build virtual RAID setups in order to perform more complex recovery. Data can also be recovered from unmountable partitions.

DiskGenius supports quite a number of raw photo formats, at least partially supporting more than it doesn’t support at all. Common formats, like BMP and JPG, have great coverage. Nikon (NEF, NRW) and Kodak (KDC) formats also have great support. Some formats don’t fair so well, though, such as Canon’s CR2 and CR3 and Samsung’s SRW formats.

Video formats were the least successful of the three format types DiskGenius was able to recover. The common file types AVI, MOV, and WMV all had great support, but it seemed to struggle with recovering MP4 files. GoPro users might be disappointed to find that the 360 and INSV formats aren’t well supported, nor are any of the ARRI formats (ARI, ARX, MXF).

The recovery of document formats appears to be a strong point for DiskGenius, scoring 64% in this area. It is able to recover DOC, DOCx, PDF, PPT, and PPTX files with a high level of success. Older file formats, like ACCDB and MDB, aren’t supported, however.
It’s safe to say that if you’re trying to recover a modern document file type, your chances will be fairly good with DiskGenius.

DiskGenius comes loaded with some extra recovery features that are great for complementing data recovery. You can make byte-to-byte device backups within the application, as well as bootable recovery drives for when your system drive is compromised.
The software is also able to finding, remember, and repair bad sectors. In instances where you need to recover data from a RAID array, you can use the RAID built-in RAID reconstructor to rebuild it.
Extras
10 rating criteria
DiskGenius also includes a lot of extra features that users can benefit from. As a highly-technical application, it’s no surprise that it offers more than the standard data recovery tool.
# | Feature | Result | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Disk space mapping | No | Not supported. |
2 | Disk clean up | No | Not supported. |
3 | Corrupted video repair tool | No | Not supported. |
4 | Corrupted photo repair tool | No | Not supported. |
5 | S.M.A.R.T. | Yes | Monitor internal and external drive SMART data. |

8 | Disk cloning | Yes | Allows cloning of disks and partitions. |
9 | Disk surface test | Yes | Can perform disk surface tests. |
10 | Secure data shredding | No | Not supported. |
You can monitor the health of your drives using the built-in SMART monitoring feature to help predict and avoid potential data loss situations going forward. It also allows disk cloning so you can safely recover data from the disk image instead of risking the vulnerable data on your live disk.
With so many disk recovery tools on the market, you might mistake Eassos DiskGenius (formerly Partition Guru) as another tool geared primarily toward corporations and pro recovery experts. But that's only part of the story. Offering competitive pricing and a complete collection of recovery features, DiskGenius finds and recovers data on almost any data you can think of. If the data can be recovered, this tool can find it and copy it to a new, reliable location. With disk management, RAID support, and operating system cloning, there is little to find fault in.
Slightly confusing user interface aside, the most striking thing about Eassos DiskGenius isn't the recovery speed or the feature set. This tool, to all intents and purposes, is free. While some advanced features for unusual media and Ext file tables require the premium tool, the main features are free and uncapped.

Recently my M.2 drive decided to fail in my Samsung Galaxy Book. After breaking the screen to get to the drive to try and recover the files, I had zero luck. I tried so many other programs like EaseUS or AOMEI but still nothing. Then I discovered DiskGenius and IT SAVED ME!!! It was able to find the lost partition and recover the files! Honestly I don't know what it did but I am sooo happy. Thank you!
Geo's feedback at Trustpilot
Naaaaaay. Recovers only either tiny files or selective files from what you want, not sure which. Refused to recover my 76kb file cuz "big files cant be recovered by free license ". Unbelievable...
Used Recoverit instead. Recovers up to 100 mb in free license. Suited me well
Deadreyo from Reddit comments
Bottom line
Overall, DiskGenius is a pretty reliable data recovery solution. But, it’s more than just a data recovery tool. It also includes a range of useful features aimed at partition and partition table management, further adding to the value of its price.
It can be downloaded for free and used to recover files 64 KB or under. Its paid licenses are reasonably priced when compared to others on the market and it has decent recovery performance. However, its signature scanning abilities are somewhat lacking right now, which is really holding it back.
If you’re looking for a feature-rich data recovery solution that also doubles as a disk manager, DiskGenius is a considerable option. It does have a learning curve that may dissuade some and a very technical (and poorly optimized) user interface, but once you get used to how to use the software, it can be a powerful tool.
