Whatever data loss scenario, you are covered by our powerful and 100% trustworthy file recovery tool!

I accidentally deleted important reports from my desktop

Accidental Deletion

Files lost due to emptying the Recycle Bin or Trash, or accidentally deleting them by pressing or ‘Command + Del’.

I formatted my drive, but forgot to backup my vacation photos
There is still hope! Disk Drill recovers from various types of drives

Formatted Storage Device

Accidental or intentional erasing of all data from a storage device, such as an internal or external hard drive, memory card, or USB flash drive with later realization that some files were still relevant.

Something happened to my Flash Drive, now all I am getting is an error message
Whatever the reason, don’t despair until you try Disk Drill

Corrupted or Failed Drive

My computer crashed and won’t start up
You can still restore your files! Find out how Disk Drill can help

OS Crash

Sudden operating system crashes or interruptions while processing data can cause files to become corrupted or lost.

I opened a file that I probably shouldn’t have opened. Now my computer is acting up
Lost files to a virus? Try Disk Drill to get them back!

Virus Attack

Files lost because of viruses and other malicious software that infects computers and messes with the content of the internal and external storage devices.

The power went out suddenly before I could hit the Save button

Partition Loss

Large-scale data loss caused by a variety of partitioning errors and problems, including accidental partition table deletion, sudden partition failure, or a momentary power outage.

My storage device went RAW!
Your files might still be there – let Disk Drill find them

RAW Storage Device

The loss of file system information makes the affected storage device appear as if it were completely empty even though all files are still there and recoverable.

My phone fell on a concrete pavement and I think all data is gone from it
Maybe it’s still salvageable. But act fast before it’s gone forever!

Physically Damaged, and more…

Physical damage to a computer (cracked screen, motherboard failure, etc.) can render the data on it inaccessible unless recovered with a dedicated data recovery solution.

Trustpilot review

The real genius is that Disk Drill retains the folder structure and file names. Something, as far as I could work out, doesn’t happen with alternatives. If you need your data (and life) saving, Disk Drill is what you need.

The new version of Disk Drill for Mac introduces numerous usability and under-the-hood enhancements to deliver the best data recovery experience and results.
Feroz Khan
Feroz Khan from ThePhotoblographer
We tested out the Pro version, and it recovered thousands of lost and deleted images off one of my micro SD cards. If I ever lose data off a card or disk again, Disk Drill 5 will be my first software choice for recovery.
Christian Cawley
Christian Cawley from Techradar.
Disk Drill’s ability to easily mount and read an unmountable USB flash drive, and recover its data within a relatively short time frame, proves that it’s a data recovery tool you should consider.

FAQ

Yes, data recovery software can sometimes help with recovering data from a physically damaged drive, depending on the extent of the damage. Drives that are damaged but still readable can be recovered with a file recovery app, while those that are no longer readable – can’t. In case of the latter, consider sending the drive to a data recovery service center.

Absolutely! Not only is Disk Drill safe to use, but it’s also one of the most trusted and reliable data recovery software applications available. The software relies on non-destructive data recovery algorithms and comes with extra data protection features.

No data recovery software can guarantee a 100% chance of success. That’s because the outcome of any data recovery attempt always depends on many different variables, most of which are impossible to control for data recovery software.
