About the best tool for data recovery mac? PhotoRac is a powerful, free, open-source data recovery tool that can help you recover lost files from your Mac’s storage device, especially if the files were deleted, the drive was formatted, or data was lost due to corruption. It works by scanning the drive at a low level, ignoring the filesystem, and recovering files based on their signatures.

Step-by-Step guide for data recovery Mac:

1. Download the version compatible with macOS.
2. Launch the photorac application (it might be inside the extracted folder).
3. When you open PhotoRac, you may need to give permission in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access.
4. Run PhotoRac with administrator privileges if prompted.
5. Use the arrow keys to select the drive you want to recover data from (e.g., your internal SSD or external drive). Press Enter.
6. Usually, PhotoRac detects the partition table automatically. Confirm or select the correct partition type (e.g., Intel, EFI, etc.).
7. Choose the partition where your lost data was stored.
8. For most Mac drives, choose ext2/ext3 or HFS+ (Mac OS Extended). If unsure, try the default options.
9. Select a folder on a different drive than the one you're recovering from (important to avoid overwriting data).
10. Confirm and let PhotoRac scan the drive. The process can take some time depending on the size of the drive.
11. Recovered files will be saved in the folder you specified. 
12. Files may be renamed with generic names, but their content should be intact.
