Devices to Store Recovered Files


R-Studio Emergency can write recovered files to the following devices:

• FAT devices such as USB sticks, memory cards, and other similar devices. Such devices are inexpensive and easily available, they can be fully accessed by all operating systems, but they have one important drawback: they cannot store files larger that 2GB. So, if you plan to recover large video files, this is not your option.

 

• exFAT devices such as large USB sticks and memory cards, external hard disks, and other similar devices. They are fully accessed by all operating systems. Unlike FAT devices, they don't have the 2GB file size limit.

 

• NTFS disks (primarily used in Windows computers).
