Alternative: Free External Drive Recovery Tools
If your goal is recovering files from an external hard drive rather than hardware-wallet access, consider free recovery utilities that work on macOS and other platforms. Popular options include TestDisk/PhotoRec and other community-trusted tools. Always perform recovery attempts on a copy of the drive image when possible to avoid further data loss.
