Choose the best data recovery app."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The choice of quality data recovery tools for\u00a0macOS is in fact limited to\u00a0several high-end players you have probably heard about:\u00a0Disk Drill by CleverFiles, Data Rescue by Prosoft, DiskWarrior by Alsoft, Data Recovery Wizard by Easeus, TechTool by Micromat, Stellar Phoenix and R-Studio. There are plenty of other less well-known solutions and even a bunch of tools provided by hardware manufacturers specifically for their type of storage,\u00a0in many cases\u00a0being just a white-labelled\u00a0third-party app.<\/p>\n<p>In this honest article we&#8217;ll make an attempt to explain why we believe\u00a0Disk Drill has the right to be placed on the same shelf with the best of\u00a0data recovery\u00a0solutions, if not to be named the best one. Our team has put an enormous amount of resources into researching data recovery on various storage systems and platforms, approaching all the forensic aspects involved\u00a0with deep knowledge and meticulousness. After years of scientific research we started the development phase and\u00a0released the first beta version of\u00a0Disk Drill in 2009. With the support of our premium users, the product <a href=\"\/help\/news\/\">matured<\/a> unbelievably fast. But\u00a0there are several undeniably\u00a0important sides of\u00a0Disk Drill few actually know about.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-relative post-download\">\r\n<i class=\"box-60x36 icons icon-winmac-xs  \"><\/i>\r\nDownload Disk Drill data recovery app\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-xs-block pull-right\" href=\"\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/dl.html\">Download now<\/a>\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div><p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"data_protection\"><\/span>Data Protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Neither Data Rescue, nor DiskWarrior offer <a href=\"\/help\/protection\/\">data protection<\/a> in their apps. Neither does R-Studio, or Easeus apps, etc. We believe, data recovery and protection are the different faces of the same coin. Thus we\u00a0included 2\u00a0high-end data protection methods in all editions of\u00a0Disk Drill: <a href=\"\/help\/recovery-vault-faqs\/\">Recovery Vault<\/a> and <a href=\"\/help\/guaranteed-recovery-faqs\/\">Guaranteed Recovery<\/a>. They are explained in details on our\u00a0<a href=\"\/help\/\">knowledge base<\/a> and were reviewed by many third-party websites\u00a0and verified by hundreds of thousands of our active users.\u00a0Usually a person starts searching for a data recovery software after the fact of a data loss.\u00a0After a successful recovery we see people keeping\u00a0Disk Drill&#8217;s protection algorithms enabled ensuring they no longer have to worry about losing their data again.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, you can always choose a cloud-based storage with virtually endless data loss protection, but it&#8217;s not always as easy to accomplish as it sounds, it all depends on the volumes, the way you work with your data, access rights, your own and your data flexibility, and more. Even with proper backup solutions in place, you may still find the additional layer of\u00a0<a href=\"\/help\/protection\/\">Disk Drill&#8217;s data protection<\/a> important and very helpful.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"completely_freemium\"><\/span>Completely freemium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike some of our competitors,\u00a0Disk Drill has a <a href=\"\/pro.html\">clear pricing model<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"\/downloads.html\">Disk Drill Basic<\/a> is free and anyone\u00a0can use it to verify their data recoverability, or <a href=\"\/help\/how-to-recover-lost-files-with-disk-drill-basic\/\">recover protected data<\/a> without any limitations. Once your data is found and its recoverability verified, one may <a href=\"\/pro.html\">upgrade to\u00a0Disk Drill PRO or Enterprise<\/a> to complete the recovery. There are no volume limits in any price tier. And you can in fact recover your data for free if you were running one of our protection methods before the data was lost.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"user_experience\"><\/span>User experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Disk Drill version 3 is definitely <a href=\"\/help\/disk-drill-3-mac-pr.html\">the best\u00a0Disk Drill<\/a> we released ever, and we are already working on another bold move to\u00a0Disk Drill 4th redesign. Data recovery is not an easy task, it&#8217;s not photo sharing, or\u00a0managing friend requests, or sending a chat message. It&#8217;s a highly technical process we want you to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>We realize how stressed many of our users are at the moment they reach out to <a href=\"\/downloads.html\">downloading\u00a0Disk Drill<\/a>. All their hopes are\u00a0aimed at the successful outcome of the scanning and recovery process. And we can&#8217;t let them down with a crappy UX. We try to make\u00a0Disk Drill&#8217;s UI as pleasant to work with and as clear as the best\u00a0apps ever designed for Macs. Just look at it, and compare to other solutions\u00a0mentioned above. Isn&#8217;t it beautiful? When you enjoy using critical, technical, system-level software, that&#8217;s what we call a great user experience.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-large wp-image-7211 aligncenter colorbox-7210\" src=\"\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/disk-drill-beauty-500x408.png\" alt=\"Disk Drill 3\" width=\"500\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recovery_chances_you_cant_underscore\"><\/span>Recovery chances you can&#8217;t underscore<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, talking data recovery we cannot just discuss all the bells and whistles and not dive into the core &#8211; the quality of data recovery itself. This is where\u00a0Disk Drill is a true leader with more recovery methods offered than any other affordable data recovery solution you can run right now. Here are just a few tiny\u00a0highlights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quick Scan that supports native recovery of FAT, NTFS, HFS+, ExFAT, EXT4<\/li>\n<li>Deep Scan with <a href=\"\/help\/file-types\/\">300+ file signatures to reconstruct<\/a> (more than any other competitor) and&nbsp;counting!<\/li>\n<li>4 <a href=\"\/help\/hfs-recovery.html\">HFS+ healing algorithms<\/a> including blazing fast <a href=\"\/help\/how-can-i-rebuild-a-corrupted-catalog-directory\/\">Catalog Rebuild<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Lost partition search and recovery by locating its meta info and reconstructing the whole data structure with immediate file recovery on a newly located area<\/li>\n<li>Proprietary disk reading mechanism to extract existing data when regular apps, like Finder, can&#8217;t access your storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Disk Drill usually scores in the top 2% when it comes to\u00a0scanning results, and the number of <a href=\"\/compete.html\">competitive upgrade discounts<\/a> we send out daily proves we are among the top. Our new clients are often disappointed with the\u00a0amount of data retrieved by\u00a0other data recovery apps, and get a <a href=\"\/compete.html\">good deal on\u00a0Disk Drill PRO<\/a> when switching.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"tolerant_damage-proof_approach\"><\/span>Tolerant damage-proof approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike other data recovery apps,\u00a0Disk Drill\u00a0emphasizes the idea of fault-proof data recovery. Here&#8217;s what we mean by that. Instead of altering the data on the scanned drive in one way or the other,\u00a0Disk Drill will always ensure it&#8217;s working in read-only mode without modifying anything. No temporary files, no preview cache, nothing of that kind. You can even <a href=\"\/help\/remount-disks-partitions-in-read-only-mode\/\">remount your target partition into read-only mode<\/a> with Disk Drill when possible.\u00a0To stay bullet-proof, we recommend creating your own bootable drive with\u00a0Disk Drill to guarantee it&#8217;s\u00a0not even installed on the system you need&nbsp;recovered.<\/p>\n<p>The only time when\u00a0Disk Drill goes into writing stuff to your recovery source\u00a0is with HFS+ Catalog Rebuild algorithm that is similar to what DiskWarrior does. However, when DiskWarrioir fails for any reason and you end up with unbootable Mac or unmountable external drive,\u00a0Disk Drill will not only let you preview the rebuilt partition, it will let you copy your data out of it without the need to\u00a0make an attempt to overwrite the existing (potentially damaged) disk structure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"scanning_results_mounted_as_a_virtual_drive\"><\/span>Scanning results mounted as a virtual drive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the unique features\u00a0Disk Drill offers to its PRO users is the ability to manage recovered data without actually recovering it. Here&#8217;s how it works: you scan your drive for lost data, and instead of reviewing recovery results inside\u00a0Disk Drill, you <a href=\"\/help\/how-do-i-mount-scanning-results-as-a-disk-and-recover-from-it\/\">mount everything that\u00a0was found as a separate disk<\/a>\u00a0in your system. Now, you can use Finder or your other favorite file\u00a0manager, or even your data analysis\u00a0software to work with the newly discovered data as if it&#8217;s already recovered, even when you don&#8217;t have another drive to copy it out at the moment. <em>How cool is that?<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-relative post-download\">\r\n<i class=\"box-60x36 icons icon-winmac-xs  \"><\/i>\r\nDownload Disk Drill data recovery app\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-xs-block pull-right\" href=\"\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/dl.html\">Download now<\/a>\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div><p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"some_thoughts_on_recovery_speed\"><\/span>Some thoughts\u00a0on recovery speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Randomly\u00a0we are hearing some speed comparison results of\u00a0Disk Drill against Stellar or R-Studio, and we always wonder how possible it is to compare data recovery solutions by the speed. No doubt, data recovery is not a fast process. But the biggest\u00a0factor that would impact data recovery speed is in fact the condition of the scanned device, and not the speed of the algorithms applied to locate your lost data. If your drive has multiple bad sectors, it will read slower than a healthy drive. If it&#8217;s an SSD, or flash memory, it will recover faster than the classic hard drives. So on.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just a few statements\u00a0you should consider before comparing data recovery tools by their&nbsp;speed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast scanning for lost data usually means less data recovered<\/li>\n<li>Faster data reconstruction most probably means less known file signatures in the&nbsp;database<\/li>\n<li>Excluding some file types from the scan does not mean faster completion<\/li>\n<li>More data recovered is always better than\u00a0quicker scans<\/li>\n<li>Even Quick Scan may take long, because it&#8217;s not named that way because of its speed but rather based on its core\u00a0algorithm<\/li>\n<li>Instead of\u00a0wasting time configuring your data recovery settings, go on and <strong>recover everything you can asap<\/strong>. While you are playing with filters and sorting recovery results, your drive may die; and sending it to a lab might quickly\u00a0become the only possibility to get your data back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"device_recovery\"><\/span>Device recovery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Right, and\u00a0#onelastthing: it is only\u00a0Disk Drill who does <a href=\"\/iphone-data-recovery.html\">iPhone data recovery<\/a> and <a href=\"\/android-data-recovery.html\">Android data recovery<\/a> in one\u00a0user-friendly package along with the regular data recovery.\u00a0Other vendors may\u00a0offer this functionality as a separate product, meaning separate purchase, separate app, separate\u00a0code\u00a0to store, extra slot on your Launchpad, etc.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"additional_tools\"><\/span>Additional\u00a0tools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike every other data recovery software mentioned in this article,\u00a0Disk Drill\u00a0adds value to its name and multiple data restoration methods.
