Encrypted data rarely lives on a single device. USB drives, SD cards, external hard drives, and internal PC storage are all part of the same protection environment for most users who take file encryption seriously. When data loss occurs in that environment, the recovery tool needs to follow the data across all of those storage types — not just the primary machine.

AnyRecover is a multi-device data recovery utility that scans across PC storage, USB drives, SD cards, and external hard drives within a single recovery workflow. As the sixth review on this site, it brings a device-spanning recovery perspective that complements the platform-specific tools introduced in earlier articles, addressing the full range of storage media that encrypted data environments typically involve.

What Is AnyRecover

AnyRecover is a data recovery utility for Windows and Mac users who need to retrieve lost files from multiple storage device types within a single application. It is a fully paid product and is available through the IMPACT affiliate program.

The software handles recovery across the storage devices most commonly used alongside encrypted file environments: internal PC drives, USB flash drives, SD cards, and external hard drives. Its multi-device engine applies both quick and deep scan modes across all supported storage types, making it practical for users who need to recover data from more than one device as part of the same recovery session.

Key Features

Multi-Device Recovery Engine — The core function scans across internal and external storage devices in a unified recovery interface, covering PC drives, USB drives, SD cards, and external hard drives without requiring separate tools for each device type.

Encrypted Drive Scan — Storage devices that have been used in an encryption workflow are scanned for recoverable content, addressing data loss scenarios specific to encrypted file environments across all supported device types.

USB and SD Card Recovery — Flash-based storage commonly used to transport or store encrypted files is scanned for deleted, corrupted, or otherwise inaccessible content.

External HDD Recovery — External hard drives used as encrypted storage destinations are scanned for recoverable data, including content lost through accidental deletion, formatting, or drive-level errors.

Lost Partition Recovery — Partitions that have been lost or deleted across any supported device type are scanned and recovered where the underlying structure remains traceable.

File Preview — Recoverable items are displayed before restoration is initiated, allowing users to confirm content and condition across all device types before selecting files for recovery.

Quick Scan and Deep Scan — A fast initial scan addresses recently deleted files across all connected devices, while the deep scan mode extends the search to cover more complex loss scenarios including those involving encrypted storage.

Real-Time Scan Status — Active scan progress is displayed for each connected device, showing the number of files identified and the current scan phase across all devices in the session.

Performance Review

In tested scenarios, USB drive recovery returned deleted files from a flash drive that had been used to transport encrypted documents, with the file preview confirming document integrity before the restoration step. In tested scenarios, external HDD recovery identified recoverable content on a drive that had been formatted after an encryption error, with the deep scan mode returning results that the quick scan had not captured. In tested scenarios, lost partition recovery located a missing partition on an external drive that had been repartitioned as part of setting up an encrypted storage environment, with the recovered partition accessible after the restoration process completed.

The multi-device engine is particularly relevant in encrypted file environments where data is regularly moved between storage types — from PC to USB for transport, or from internal storage to an external drive for backup — and where a loss event on any one of those devices requires the same recovery capability that would be applied to the primary machine. The unified interface removes the need to switch between different tools depending on which device the lost data resided on, keeping the recovery process consistent regardless of where the encryption error or deletion event occurred. Quick and deep scan modes together ensure that both simple deletion events and the more complex scenarios associated with encrypted storage are addressed within the same workflow. As a multi-device recovery utility, this software covers the storage breadth that the earlier articles’ device-specific tools do not individually reach.

Pricing and Plans

AnyRecover is a fully paid product with plans available for individual users. No specific pricing is listed here, as rates may change over time. The value it provides as a multi-device recovery utility — covering encrypted drive scanning, USB and SD card recovery, external HDD recovery, and lost partition restoration across a unified interface — reflects a well-rounded tool for users managing encrypted data across multiple storage types.

Use Cases

This software is well suited for users who need to recover data from a USB drive or SD card used to transport encrypted files, particularly when the content was lost through accidental deletion or a formatting error. It is equally practical for those dealing with data loss on an external hard drive used as an encrypted backup destination. Users who regularly move encrypted content between their PC and external storage devices will find the multi-device scanning capability a consistent advantage when recovery is needed across more than one device at a time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers PC, USB, SD card, and external HDD recovery in a unified interface
  • Encrypted drive scanning addresses data loss specific to encryption workflows
  • Quick and deep scan modes adapt to both simple and complex recovery scenarios
  • Lost partition recovery extends coverage to drive-level events on external storage
  • File preview supports selective recovery across all supported device types

Cons

  • Fully paid with limited recovery capacity in the free version
  • Deep scan duration increases with the number and size of connected devices being processed simultaneously

Who Should Consider This Software

This software is a practical choice for users managing encrypted data across multiple storage devices who need a single recovery tool capable of spanning the full range of storage types in their environment. It suits home users who regularly use USB drives and external hard drives alongside encrypted PC storage, as well as those who want a recovery option that follows their encrypted data wherever it is stored rather than addressing only one device type at a time.

Try AnyRecover

Final Verdict

AnyRecover brings multi-device recovery across PC storage, USB drives, SD cards, and external hard drives together in a unified and well-organized utility. For readers of this site who manage encrypted data across more than one storage type and need a recovery tool capable of spanning that full range in a single workflow, this is a dependable and practically structured option that covers the device breadth that single-platform tools leave unaddressed.
