I downloaded the free version to recover deleted files on a USB stick and it worked perfectly.
Back story: my Tesla was broken into and my phone was stolen and used the payments. There was no Tesla sentry notification because they Bluetooth boosted my door/lock (yes, phone was in the car). So, I had to comb through the minute-by-minute video to piece together the video images from the 4 cameras and Disk Drill was able to find and recover all video of the incident and the police now have that data. Case is not closed but Disk Drill is critical to solving this crime!
AMAZING, saved my files. I did not give 5 stars because it did not allow me to only scan one folder, and it did not get every file. Still Amazing. Get this for sure
Genuinely just a massive thank you to the devs of Disk Drill (@Cleverfiles). Saved YEARS of footage from being lost forever on a dead drive. 10/10 tool
Nice
Thought I lost over 41GB due to a camera software failure. Downloaded Disk Drill and within 3 hours I not only had that 41GB recovered but an extra 20GB from that SD card that I didn’t know was recoverable. Sure, it came at a cost, but those files were worth more than I paid for the recovery.
Highly recommend and am tremendously pleased with the application.
Thanks DD you saved my movie!
My working folders for two active video editing projects were recently deleted from my desktop and trash bin and I was looking at needing to start from scratch with them completely… Still not sure how it happened exactly, one day the folders were there, the nexxt they were gone. But fortunately, Disk Drill came to my rescue and I was able to fully recover both folders (over 300GB in deleted files), which saved me a full two days worth of work. Not much one for leaving reviews, but even though I was skepptical at first, this worked so well and was surprisingly easy to use. 10/10 would recommend.
I used disk drill for windows, it recovered all my files on my SD card. I accidentally deleted all my videos from my SD card and a quick trip to Google led me to disk drill and had all my files were restored for free. THANK YOU.
Had to upgrade to the Pro version to accomplish my drive recovery. I guess it was worth the Pro price and 5 star rating because it quickly and easily did what it promised it would do which was recover my entire USB drive – once I upgraded to the paid version. My brand new 1 month old WD portable 4TB USB drive suddenly stopped mounting to my Mac this morning and files couldn't read or write. Mac's own built in Disk Utility couldnt repair that portable drive, only said it could erase it and reformat which was obviously not what I needed with almost 3/4TB of saved files on the portable drive. Free version of Disk Drill found the majority of files were still okay on the portable drive , however only the paid version would restore them. A quick search online revealed most of the other Mac data recovery apps were about the same initial purchase price but only Disk Drill offered a lifetime of free upgrades for a small extra fee, so that was my decision maker to buy. Wish I could charge the software purchase price back to WD but not sure it's their fault yet at WD, never had a problem with WD portable SSDs before until now. Don't know what corrupted the 4TB drive yet. Disk Drive worked for me – it did take about 20 mins to recover a 250GB chunk of my portable drive – so figure about an hour or so to recover a full 1TB. Grit your teeth and pay for the pro upgrade.
I recently bought Disk Drill Pro with lifetime upgrades for Macintosh after trying the free version for a while. Disk Drill does so many things and does them well with an easy to use interface. I especially love the find duplicates feature. I was able to easily identify duplicate pictures and documents . The program lets you see the actual files before you delete them, which is a great feature. One of the best features is the byte-to-byte backup feature which lets you clone your hard drive.
All in all a very useful program well worth the money!
Update: I manage to get most of it back from sectors that weren’t overridden thanks to Disk Drill! Trust still hurt tho.
