Top Cons
-
Limited preview feature. Only a handful of file types can be previewed. Even many commonly used file types, such as RAW photos, are impossible to preview.
-
Complicated. The software is aimed at professionals, and it shows. The user interface is too complicated for the average user to learn.
-
Unintuitive scanning process. After the disk is scanned and you try to open the results, a new scanning process opens instead, and it can take a long time to finish.
-
Very complex scan results. When the scan is complete, the program interface shows a bunch of found partitions, and it can be confusing to know which one to open.
-
S.M.A.R.T. The S.M.A.R.T. feature doesn’t support many modern NVM express (NVMe) disks.
-
High RAM consumption on startup. R-Studio can be hungry for system memory, especially immediately after being started.
-
Signature scanner. The signature scanner does not support many modern audio/video/photo formats.
-
Source selection. The startup interface is so crowded that choosing the right drive to scan is a real hassle.
-
No auto-resume. R-Studio doesn’t handle storage device reconnections well, and it doesn’t automatically resume scanning when a disconnected device is connected again.
-
No built-in preview window. To view preview files, you have to press the view button every time, which is very inconvenient, especially when you want to preview a large number of files.
-
Real-time scan results. While scanning, the program does not allow you to see the results and navigate and preview them.
-
Browsing results. R-Studio displays found files in a rather intricate way, and it can take some time to make sense of what can be recovered.
-
Bad sectors. The program can recognize that it takes too long to read from the disk, but it does not remember the sectors where it happened and does not allow you to build a map of bad sectors.
-
Session management. Essential scan session management features are lacking.
-
Slow preview functionality. The preview functionality is too slow to be truly useful when previewing a large number of files one by one.
-
Photo and video corruption. R-Studio can’t fix partially corrupted photos and videos that can’t be opened anymore.
-
Recovery during scanning. It’s not possible to recover files until the scan process is 100% over.

It has become a common practice for data recovery companies to spend a lot of time, effort, and money on the creation of helpful recovery guides and various how-to articles. R-Tools Technology doesn’t focus on this form of content marketing. That’s probably because its target customers are data recovery professionals who have little to no use for step-by-step data recovery guides that explain different use cases individually.
Data Recovery with R-Studio for Windows
Tested on: Windows 11 (version 21H2)
We tested the Windows version of R-Studio on Windows 11 (version 21H2). As always, we followed our methodical testing process, which is described in detail below. If you’re not interested in it, feel free to skip to the first step.
How We Test
What sets our data recovery software reviews apart from the competition is our unique testing process. Knowing that data recovery results are influenced by many different variables, we test data recovery software in a controlled software environment, using carefully selected data sets that let us accurately simulate common data loss scenarios.
| # | Step | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Installation | Our data recovery software testing process starts with the installation of the tested software. Here, we're interested in answering the following questions: Can the software be installed on the target system? Is the installation process straightforward? |
| 2 | Source selection | Next, we launch the tested software application and use it to initiate a scan of our storage device. Some applications make this easier than others, and we reward those that are intuitive with a higher rating. |
| 3 | Scanning process | All data recovery software applications handle the scanning process differently. Some run all recovery methods in the optimal order, while others expect users to make all important scanning decisions on their own. Regardless, scanning should be fast, and it should be obvious how much time is remaining. |
| 4 | Managing found data | Usually, the goal of data recovery isn't to recover all files that can possibly be recovered. The goal is to recover only a handful of important files. That's why the best data recovery software lets you narrow down scan results using filters and preview individual files with a simple click. |
| 5 | Recovery and post-processing | With missing files selected, the last step is to recover them to a safe location. Leading data recovery software applications alert users when they attempt to recover data to the source drive, and they also provide a useful recovery summary, typically with a convenient option to view the recovered data in a file browser. |
As you can see, we leave no stone unturned when testing data recovery software, and our repeatable testing process ensures objectivity.
Installation
R-Studio relies on a standard installation process that all experienced Windows users are guaranteed to find instantly familiar.
The screenshots above show the individual steps you have to go through, so we won't bore you with them here. Just keep in mind that you need to have administrator privileges to install R-Studio, but that goes for all data recovery software that's installed in the Program Files directory.
Source selection
The moment you launch R-Studio for the first time, it instantly becomes clear that you're dealing with professional data recovery software.
The application lays down all options right on the main screen, and it displays an almost overwhelming amount of information about available storage devices. Needless to say, selecting the storage device you want to recover can be somewhat difficult.
Scanning process
Things don't become any easier when you initiate scanning by clicking the Scan button. That's because R-Studio always gives the user the opportunity to configure the area they want to scan and specify which file system is present on the scanned storage device.
If you want to look only for specific file types, then you can tell R-Studio to look only for them and nothing else. The good news is that the default settings work fine in most situations, so you can usually just click the Scan button to proceed.
Managing found files
You would be hard-pressed to find a faster data recovery software application than R-Studio. Even large storage devices can be scanned quickly. Unfortunataly, it takes some time for the software to load data recovery results and let you browse them.
The scan results browser is definitely capable and packed with advanced features, such as a hex editor, but it lacks polish. For example, files can only be previewed in a separate window, which isn't convenient when previewing a large number of files one by one.
Recovery and post-processing
Recovering files with R-Studio isn't a matter of a simple click. Well, it can be, but you would have to ignore the plethora of available recovery options.
Besides specifying the output folder, you can tell R-Studio to restore or not restore the original folder structure, metafiles, alternative data stream, extended attributes, and more. The software is ready to handle multiple partial data recovery attempts to the same output folder, allowing you to do when you stumble upon a file that already exists.
Once you begin moving files to their new destination, R-Studio keeps you informed by telling you which file is being recovered.

R-Studio for Windows – Full Review
So far, we’ve established that R-Studio isn’t the most intuitive data recovery software on the market because it’s geared toward advanced users.

R-Studio is a highly reputable product from a software company with a long history. Paying users receive customer support via phone and helpdesk, and they can also visit the company’s extensive knowledge base, which explains many commonly encountered problems in great detail. While R-Studio is updated on a regular basis, it usually takes around 6 months for a new update to be released. Not many regular home users have heard about R-Studio, but data recovery professionals often recognize the software.

Bang for the buck

R-Studio delivers above-average value for two main reasons. First, the free trial version lets you recover an unlimited number of files as long as the files are up to 256 KB large. Second, you can choose from multiple different licenses depending on your needs and budget. If you want to perform a single recovery job and would like access to everything R-Studio has to offer, than you can pay $80 a day for R-Studio T80+, which is much better than spending $899 on the most expensive version of R-Studio just to use it once.

Usability
18 rating criteria
When it comes to usability, R-Studio succeeds in some ways and fails in others. On the one hand, the software comes with all the quality-of-life features you would expect a data recovery application to come with, including the ability to sort scan results in several different ways, the option to search recoverable files by their names, and so on. The problem is that most of these features haven’t been designed with the average user in mind, so they can be rather unintuitive.
| # | Feature | Result |

Recovery performance
120 rating criteria
The overall recover performance of R-Studio for Windows is decisively above average, but there are several important areas where it leaves a lot to be desired, such as raw file recovery and document file recovery. If these areas matter to you a lot, then this data recovery software will likely not be able to meet your needs.
| # | Feature | Result | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Deep scan | Good | You can expect R-STudio to restore the original folder structure and file names regardless of which file system you decide to scan. |
| 2 | Quick scan | Good | Quickly recovering recently deleted files isn't a problem for R-Studio, and the default scan options are usually the way to go. |
| 3 | Other types of scan | Good | The scan customization options offered by R-Studio can be almost overwhelming, which is good if you know how to take advantage of them. |
| 4 | Device support | Good | R-Studio can't recover data from mobile devices, but all other internal and external storage devices are no problem for the software. |
| 5 | Real-life recovery challenge | Fine | Real-life scan results can be a hit or miss, especially when attempting to recover raw file formats. Fortunately, R-Studio supports custom file formats. |
| 6 | Other notable recovery features | Good | We recommend R-Studio as an excellent RAID data recovery software application. It also handles bad sectors well and lets you create a byte-to-byte backup of any storage device, among other things. |

Again, it’s clear that the recovery of modern raw file formats in general isn’t R-Studio’s strong suit because attempts to recover raw video file formats yield similarly poor results as attemps to recover raw photo file formats. Fortunately, the situation is much better when it comes to more commonly used video file formats like AVI, MP4, or WMV.

Document file formats like .DOCX, .KEY, or .ODT are among the most commonly recovered file types, so we were surprised to see R-Studio struggle with them. Still, the software is capable of delivering decent results, you just need a bit of luck as well to get all lost document files back.

| 17 | Forensic features |
R-Studio supports many additional features, such as the ability to recover data over network, reconstruct damaged RAID arrays, or create byte-to-byte device backups. However, there are also several notable omissions that prevent us from giving it a higher score, such as the inability to being browsing recoverable files while scanning is still in progress.

R-Studio focuses exclusively on data recovery, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it can’t find duplicate files or help you clean your storage devices. Still, it would be nice if the software could at least repair corrupted video and photo files.
R-Studio Data Recovery the gold standard in software-based, sector-by-sector data recovery. It’s pricey, but it’s a big-dog tool, and it’s especially handy if you’re working in a multi-platform environment. If the data still exists somewhere on the drive, R-Studio Data Recovery should recover it.
The ability to image seemingly dead hard-drives and restore data is powerful. Also the ability to connect to remote systems is another great feature.
I Installed the trial and it scan the disk just fine. As i wanted to export the found files, bought the software and it just freezes exporting the files. Support was no help and refound isn't available. 79$ to the trash. Since it didn't work, i've tried "Diskdigger" that just saved all my information, for free...
Bottom line
R-Studio for Windows is a respectable data recovery software application that deserves the attention of all data recovery professionals and advanced Windows users.
Recommending it to regular home users who just want to recover lost data as quickly and painlessly as possible is a bit more difficult because R-Studio is plagued with major usability issues that make it anything but intuitive.
The good news is that the free trial version lets you test most of what this data recovery software has to offer, and we encourage you give it a go if you’re intrigued by it.
