Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the available information, Data Recovery Essential appears to still be actively maintained on the Mac App Store, but there's no clear confirmation whether it has been updated with native Apple Silicon support. The app's Mac App Store listing indicates it requires macOS 10.9 or later but doesn't specify architecture compatibility. Since the developer describes it as 'constantly updated,' you should check the current version in the Mac App Store to see if Apple Silicon support has been added. If the app still runs only under Rosetta 2, consider Disk Drill as a well-established native alternative that offers similar file recovery capabilities with confirmed Apple Silicon support and a more comprehensive feature set.
