I had two hard drives that were no longer recognizable by any of my Apple computers (or PC’s, for that matter). The volume IDs simply did not appear in Finder. I bought Disk Drill only to recover accidentally deleted files and hoped I never had to use it. As a lark, I plugged in one of my unrecognizable hard drives into my MBP. Again, Finder showed nothing BUT when I started Disk Drill, after a few seconds, the drive’s volume ID appeared within the app! I reopened Finder and amazingly the volume ID was there, too! I was able navigate the directory tree and recover any files I needed. I repeated the above procedure with the second hard drive and lo and behold, I had the same result! The drive ID appeared in the app and in Finder. I was able to see and save any of the files I wanted to to a more stable hard drive!
You performed a miracle! You’ve won a fan for life!
I have used Disk Drill on all types drives to recover deleted data and it has worked perfectly. The software is simple to use and will attempt to recover deleted files with superficial or in depth methods, all of which I could select. Disk Drill has been the best data recovery software I have used.
I originally bought disk drill to recover media from GoPro SD cards that had been accidentally formatted. It worked amazingly well but it was never a crisis situation until about two years ago when I dropped my main backup disk off my desk, shattering the case on the ground while it was still running, effectively nuking everything I had stored on it, my entire life’s worth of data until that point.
The partition was lost and the disk would no initialize on my mac without manually doing so under utilities. I tried deep file scan and was able to recover some things but not all.
Then, yesterday, after not using disk drill for a long time I took that old broken disk off the shelf and made a sector-by-sector backup to DMG on a new external I just purchased. After it completed, I was able to mount it and THERE WAS ALL MY DATA!!
Years of family photos, countless video projects I have generated, my digital portfolio, tons of media content has been restored. I’m in awe at what you guys have managed to achieve with this tool and so thankful for your work. Upgrading to pro was the literal least I could have ever done. Let me know your Venmo handle and I’ll send you all money for coffee and doughnuts along with more thanks for your amazing work.
My success story with Disk Drill is the following: last day of great family trip to Sri Lanka. Letting daughter play with the camera. All the pictures gone. Disk Drill recovered most of them.
Hi, I’m a video producer and editor and I have used your software for the past 6 years. The first time I used it was when I was editing a documentary teaser and somehow lost my project file. Having completely panicked in the middle of the night I searched online and came across your software. There are many options that available online, some of them don’t work and some are too complicated to use. I thought I’d give yours a try. It was amazing! I recovered a file that if lost would cost me 3 days of work.
Since then I have used your software many times, on drives that needed file recovery and on footage on memory cards that were accidentally formatted on set.
Today your software saved me again on a corrupted CF card. Files were too corrupted to be imported in Adobe Premiere. Quick time couldn’t read them. I formatted the CF card in the camera and ran Disk Drill. All my files were found on a lost partition. Disk Drill has saved my butt in many situations and I want to thank you for that.
Best of luck!
The best Disk Drill review is the number of times it has helped our customers, who have been able to recover their lost files. It is a great tool, easy, simple, pretty and powerful. Álvaro Castellanos Bernardo, Apple
I’m very happy with the result I had after using the Disk Drill software. I was able to recover 100% of the files that had been lost. All tests with several other softwares proved to be much lower, with very small recovery rates. I recommend using Disk Drill! 100% efficient, fast recovery. Congratulations to the staff!
