NEW
YORK, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In the
digital age, where data serves as the cornerstone of both personal
and professional domains, EaseUS, a leading provider of data
recovery solutions, unveils its comprehensive report detailing the
statistics of data recovery in 2024. Following an extensive
six-month user survey involving millions of data points, the report
offers invaluable insights into data loss occurrences, the devices
that lost data, and the computers and systems that recovered
data.
Data Loss Scenarios
The study categorizes 496,142 unique scenarios leading to data
loss, highlighting that approximately 40% of cases stem from
logical errors, totaling around 198,457 incidents. This category
experiences the highest recovery rate. Conversely, 30% of data
losses result from physical damage to hardware, necessitating
specialized recovery services or preventive measures such as
regular data backups.
Operating Systems for Data Recovery
With 635,372 instances analyzed, the report emphasizes the
dominance of the latest Windows and macOS operating systems and
their influence on data recovery product development. Given their
widespread use and evolving distributions, it underscores the
importance of software adaptability to these platforms.
User's Computer Types
Among the 724,769 computers surveyed, the report identifies a
clear focus on ensuring compatibility and optimization for Windows
systems, alongside a dedicated effort to cater to MacBook Pro and
MacBook Air models due to their significant market presence. It
also acknowledges the necessity of accommodating legacy Apple
devices to broaden accessibility.
Storage Device Types and Sizes
The shift toward Solid-State Drives (SSDs) is prominent among
the 726,418 storage devices assessed, necessitating that recovery
software optimizes for SSDs while maintaining support for
traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). This trend underscores the
importance of versatility in handling all disk capacities, from
smaller to larger storage units.
File Systems on Windows and macOS
Of the 764,477 file systems examined, NTFS dominates usage
trends. However, exFAT has gained prominence as a cross-platform
file-sharing solution, particularly for external hard drives. The
report advocates for recovery software that proficiently handles
NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT while integrating AI and machine learning to
tackle unconventional or severely damaged file systems, including
HFS+ and EXT series, to serve Apple and Linux users
comprehensively.
Observations and Insights
These data studies carry significant implications for the data
recovery industry, necessitating software developers to stay
abreast of technological advancements and changing user habits. The
report advocates for solutions that not only cater to the prevalent
use of SSDs and the continued relevance of legacy HDDs but also
embrace the cloud backup market, projected to reach $199 billion by 2027. By addressing these shifts,
developers can ensure they remain competitive and effectively serve
users facing various data loss challenges.
