Description

Disk Drill Media Recovery is the simplest and the most efficient data recovery app on the Mac App Store. Version 4 offers a new streamlined user interface that will help you navigate, preview, sort, and filter your recoverable data with ease.

Disk Drill can recover your deleted pictures and photos, music, documents, applications, videos, notes, and other data. There are several data recovery algorithms running in a smart sequence within Disk Drill. "Quick Scan" and "Search for Lost Partitions" can recover files of any format. "Deep Scan" file recovery works on a lower level and analyzes disks as binary entities. It runs your hard drive recovery based on file signatures, thus original file names, locations and properties aren't always recoverable.

Disk Drill can recover deleted data on all known file systems: APFS, HFS+, FAT32, NTFS, EXT3, EXT4, ExFAT, and will even work with formatted disk images. If your data is still there, Disk Drill will undelete it for you. Disk Drill can get your data back from any byte-by-byte disk image. The following disk image formats are supported: DMG, ISO, and IMG.
Disk Drill Media Recovery is developed by CleverFiles, a well-known data solutions brand since 2011. You can be sure you are getting an app of the best quality.

Your lost data can be retrieved from any internal and external media: your Mac hard drive (excluding system partitions), any disk you can mount to your Mac, USB flash thumb drives, cameras, card-readers, external hard drives, iPods (Shuffle, Nano, Classic, Mini), mobile phones, other Macs connected in target mode, etc.

!! Please Note: Disk Drill Media Recovery cannot recover data from devices running on iOS: iPhones, iPads, and iPods Touch.

** How to create and recover from a disk image **

Disk Drill Media Recovery uses uncompressed (byte-by-byte) disk images as the source for data recovery. Here's how you can create them really easy:

1. Run Disk Utility, it's a standard macOS app.
2. Go to File > New > Disk Image from "YOUR_DISK_NAME".
3. Choose "read-write" as your Image format. Do not choose "Compressed", deleted data will not be copied if you do.
4. Set encryption to "none".
5. Save your disk image, and load it in Disk Drill Media Recovery when done.

Best recovery app of all the (many) recovery apps I’ve tried

After a mishap with a drive used for both backup and a large media library (note to self: in Carbon Copy Cloner, ALWAYS make sure that “Protect Root-Level Items” is turned ON), I tried several different recovery apps to try to bring back some of the 3TB of data I accidentally deleted. Disk Drill was one of the only ones that would even launch (apparently the other apps didn’t like one of my external drives). The interface is great—clean and professional. Over the three days required to scan such a large drive, Disk Drill found a massive list of files (hard to say if it’s really all of them, but it’s gotta be close). Luckily, unlike some other recovery apps, you can pause, save, and resume your scanning progress at any time, so my laptop didn’t have to stay in one place for three days straight. Once the scan is over, recovering the files is easy—just select the ones you want and click the “Recover” button. My one major gripe is that, for some reason, it changes .MKV video files to “.webm” files. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix this is to use one of the many third-party MKV utilities to restore the proper container. Though I’m happy to have those files back at all, the conversion process can be time consuming, and I hope they’ll fix this issue in a future update. Bottom line: until human error and equipment malfunction are a thing of the past, Disk Drill is a must have.

Great Recovery App To Say The Least

When my 128gb Usb Pen Drive that had all my Mac’s needed Software and Games backed up on it became unusable on my Mac, I didn’t think I would be able to get any of my files back at all. All was lost until I found Disk Drill, it didn’t recover everything that was on the drive completely as some the stuff just was to far corrupted but what it did recover were my most important files that I could not have recovered with out it. It is a real life savor and it even gave me a good point of where to look to recover the other files that couldn’t be saved from my Pin Drive. With out which I would have no way of knowing what all the files even were that I lost, relying on my memory alone I would have been at a real loss. If you need a solution to save your lost files or data on a non functioning drive Disk Drill is the tool worth having. It took about two hours to scan my Usb Drive but I was able to preview the recovery process and see that it was working to bring back many of my lost files and that they were intact and recoverable by Disk Drill. I was immediately sold when I realized what it could do, I give it Five Stars. I think it is the best Recovery Tool there is, Thank You, Disk Drill and cleverfiles..

Saved Me!

I was shooting some 4K footage for a documentary and 384 gigs of footage disappeared when one of my hard drives took a dive. Worse yet, the footage was of the main subject of the documentary who was only available for one morning for a sit-down interview. A reshoot was out of the question. I had a few days before I had to deliver the footage and I’m sweating bullets. Then I remembered that Disk Drill had gotten me out of a similar jam a few years ago. I fired up the app and let it scan the dead drive. It took about an hour, but then it showed me a directory of all the missing files. (A nice feature is the ability to save a scan session if you’re not recovering all your files at once.) You can preview files before recovering them if you’re unsure of what you’re looking for, which is pretty handy if you’re searching through a gazillion image files with unhelpful file names. You can also tell Disk Drill to search for only certain types of files to save time. I found the folders for the missing footage and then started the recovery process. Disk Drill recovered every single frame! I went from total despair to elation, breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked all the higher powers that Disk Drill exists. Thank you, everyone at CleverFiles!
