I was able to recover images and videos I had emptied from my trash can hassle-free with this software. CleverFiles makes it quick and easy to get back what you want.

After suspecting my drive completely dead, I had left it connected to my system while Disk Drill was still active. When I came back to close the software later, suddenly the drive was showing up in the readable volumes in Disk Drill and it wanted to rebuild. I attempted to rebuild the HFS structure (it couldn’t be saved), but it did manage to find all the files on the disk so I was able to mount found items as a volume and get everything copied off. All this to say in a long roundabout way, I was finally able to get the drive to mount before it failed completely and recover the data I needed. Thanks guys

Your product managed to bring back a disk that got corrupted in the middle of permanent full-disk decryption of a 4TB disk… A half-decrypted, corrupted 4TB economy hard disk.

I tried your product after being horribly disappointed with Cisdem, which I had purchased just for this problem… I also tried the free trial version of Data Rescue 4 after Cisdem repeatedly failed.

Neither Cisdem nor Data Recovery 4 could even read the disk… Nor could they write to the disk.. I tried multiple times and multiple reboots and every little trick.. Nothing. They would freeze or just crash my entire computer.

So then I break out Disk Warrior 5 to repair the disk filesystem in the hopes that Cisdem or Data Recovery 4 might then be able to do their magic.

It failed. I will say it got the furthest. It was at least able to read the file system on the disk, but couldn’t repair and couldn’t copy the files off the disk.

So, Disk Drill beat out every single respected tool I could come up with. I’m still in the process of copying all my files, since it is so much data. And the reads are slower because this drive has been through so much. But my files are properly named and they all behave as if nothing ever happened.

In my field of study, data is important so protecting it is crucial. I needed a program that could help me recover sentimentally important pictures from an old hard drive that had been corrupted. I have tried many recovery tools but they were either inadequate or very expensive. During a class discussion, I was introduced to Disk Drill by CleverFiles and I decided to give it a try. Not only have I been able to recover most of my lost files, but also clean up my current hard drive. Disk Drill goes beyond just helping you recover files you can also establish a form of backup, clean up your drives by looking for and removing duplicates. I love how intuitive the program is as well as very user-friendly. I am still a novice when it comes to Disk Drill, but that is okay since if you do get stuck they came prepared and have help links just about every where. I look forward to recovering files from other devices such as old Android phones and iPhones. I love that the program can be used across the board with most of your devices. Disk Drill turned out to be more than what I had expected and I look forward to seeing what other things I can do with Disk Drill.

I love the program. I have been having a lot of fun with it and surprisingly recover files from a lot of different things that I thought I had lost forever.

Disk Drill Data Recovery Review
This software is simply amazing.
I needed to recover some lost photos from an old MacBook Pro hard drive. I had searched around the web for a solution but did not feel confident in the products I came across. A Professor of mine suggested that I use Disk Drill to recover this data, with ease I had my lost data quickly and easily secured.

One great feature was the ability to immediately start searching through the recovered files during a quick or deep scan. The files I longed for were populated almost immediately, and could be opened even before the scan was completed. Sorting by name, kind, size, and modification date allowed for easy scrubbing of the large amounts of data. Some important data I did not originally seek was also recovered which was the “cherry on top” of my experience, I never thought that I would see this data again.

I cannot wait to share the benefits of this software with my friends and family — truly magic and highly recommended!

Disk Drill is a perfect safeguard for those who choose to keep their personal files local. Also can be an awesome addition to iCloud users who are frequently traveling. I personally used it on an older MacBook Pro to recover files I have not had access to for almost half a decade. These files I thought lost forever were able to be salvaged thanks to Disk Drill. This is a perfect tool for those who would like to save money and recover files themselves without the hassle of dropping personal devices at Greek Squad.

The ability to find duplicate files is extremely handy. The recovery also proved very reliable as I accidentally wiped my hard drive and the program was able to recover almost all of my files.

Very efficient at data recovery and with an additional set of Mac utility tools to die for, Disk Drill 3 comes highly recommended.
