If you ever need to recover data from a damaged disk (or take some extra measures to protect against that happening on an intact one), I give my personal recommendation to Disk Drill. 80% or more of the data on the drive was recovered complete with metadata and file structure. A good chunk of the remainder was found in a deep scan, although this will have to be looked through by hand because the recovered files are named generically. I was able to mount the recovered results as a virtual disk, and right now am transferring everything I cared about losing to a new drive. Effective and simple, that’s about all I ask from a good piece of software.
I had a corrupted USB with 5.97 GB of data on it. I tried several other software recovery programs with no success. Then I downloaded Disk Drill, was pleased with nice interface, and even more surprised when I ran the scan. The scan was fast, and comprehensive, finding all the data on the corrupted USB, with one more easy step, the data was recovered to a folder on my hard drive.
This software is a keeper, one of those essential programs you must have. I would highly recommend this product.
This application simply just saved my life! He regained the most important file I have and that I had accidentally deleted! Simply Phenomenal!
Really great customer support for your product. Again, just wanted to thank you for all of your help. This is a great program, and I am glad to have it working again.
Used Disk Drill after a botched iPhoto > Photos > new iMac migration lost a few thousand pictures from wife’s hard drive. Was able to recover them all despite having reformatted the drive in preparation for recycling. Great utility!
Disk Drill 2 is your first and last line of defense for dealing with misbehaving volumes on the Mac, and the Pro version easily pays for itself the first time trouble comes along. Aside from a UI that feels out of step with OS X El Capitan, my only caveat would be to hold off for the forthcoming version 3.0 so your investment will last as long as possible, especially when the Basic version offers sufficient peace of mind today without breaking the bank.

Disk Drill is capable of scanning and recovering files from its vault in seconds.. Yes – that’s right … SECONDS! Making this the perfect utility for all heavy Mac users and novices alike. Mike Hudson
It is a must for all Mac users as it can save you by undelete and recover files that are accidentally deleted or files lost due to hard drive problems. I would recommend you try it out. Nihar
I found this Mac App simply amazing. In the past I have tried various recovery software packages but Disk Drill is so simple to use, there is no great learning curve, and it works every time for me.
Remember Hugo’s Mac computer? His external hard drive crashed. He bought a piece of software called Disk Drill. The software worked perfectly. It recovered everything on his busted external hard drive. If you have a Mac, you need this software. Harry Newton
