Analyze Panel

This panel is used to get an overall picture of the chosen drive or volume’s ability to be read by Data Rescue by sampling its read times throughout the range of data blocks.

Note - Analyzing your drive is optional, and not necessary to scan and recover files. 

If you suspect your drive may be experiencing hardware problems, this function can give a high-level view of any read problems. Click the Help button on this panel for further information or open the User's Guide from the Help menu.
