Our goal was to recover the following three files:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc4 A text file saved with the TXT file extension.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\uddbc\ufe0f A high-resolution JPG image.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf9e\ufe0f A short video clip saved in the MOV video container format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our little test was completely successful, and we were able to quickly and effortlessly recover all three files. Here\u2019s each and every step we had to go through:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_disk_drill_download_and_installation\"><\/span>1.1 Disk Drill Download and Installation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/download.html\">downloaded Disk Drill<\/a> for Mac free of charge from its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/\">official website<\/a>. The free version can be used to scan an unlimited number of storage devices and preview an unlimited number of recoverable files.<\/p>\n<p>The free version can\u2019t, however, actually save any lost files (it can only preview recoverable files to verify their integrity). To do that, you need to purchase Disk Drill PRO, and you can find more information about it and its price later in this article.<\/p>\n<p>To install Disk Drill, we had to double-click the downloaded installation file and drag and drop the Disk Drill icon into the Applications folder. It took just a second or two for all data to be copied.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1258\" src=\"\/\/onmac.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/disk-drill-install.png\" alt=\"disk drill install\" width=\"699\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onmac.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/disk-drill-install.png 699w, https:\/\/onmac.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/disk-drill-install-300x246.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_first_launch_and_initial_setup\"><\/span>1.2 First Launch and Initial Setup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Just like other data recovery apps for macOS, Disk Drill needs certain permissions to scan storage devices at the file system level and recover lost data. The good news is that you need to give it the necessary permissions just once.<\/p>\n<p>First, we launched Finder, navigated to the Applications folder, and double-clicked the Disk Drill icon.

A modern SSD would likely reduce the scan time considerably.

What You Need to Know Disk Drill for Mac<\/h2>\n<p>While Disk Drill\u2019s data recovery capabilities speak for themselves, there\u2019s a lot more you should know about the software, and it doesn\u2019t hurt to start with the basics.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21_what_is_disk_drill\"><\/span>2.1 What Is Disk Drill?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Disk Drill is a <a href=\"\/best-data-recovery-software-for-mac\/\">data recovery software<\/a> app from a company called CleverFiles. It was first publicly released in 2010, and it has since then established itself as one of the most popular tools of its kind.<\/p>\n<p>Besides macOS, Disk Drill is also available for Windows, and the two versions share the same look and feel. The user interface has been translated into many languages, including English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Chinese, and others.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc--colors-text sc-colors-text--EACA24\">\r\n\t\ud83d\udca1 Disk Drill can recover data from such popular devices as <a href=\"\/how-to-recover-deleted-files-from-sd-card-on-mac\/\">SD cards<\/a>, <a href=\"\/how-to-recover-files-from-external-hard-drive-on-mac\/\">external hard drives<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/how-to-recover-data-from-flash-drive-on-mac\/\">USB flash drives<\/a>. The app runs on all Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.15 or newer (the Windows version supports Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, 11).\r\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22_main_features_of_disk_drill\"><\/span>2.2 Main Features of Disk Drill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Disk Drill is, first and foremost, a powerful data recovery application that can be used to recover over 400 file formats from all storage devices supported by macOS, including <a href=\"\/how-to-recover-deleted-photos-on-mac\/\">deleted photos<\/a>, text documents, various multimedia files, and more. The latest version of Disk Drill is fully compatible with M1\/M2 Macs running macOS Ventura, and it supports the recovery of iOS\/iPadOS 16+.<\/p>\n<p>It boasts multiple powerful recovery algorithms that address different data loss scenarios, but you never have to worry about how they work because Disk Drill hides all the complexity that goes into the recovery of permanently deleted files behind its polished user interface with Dark Mode support.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a quick look at some of the main reasons why Disk Drill is so great at handling a wide variety of data loss situations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can recover data from NTFS, FAT, FAT32, exFAT, EXT3\/EXT4, HFS, and APFS file systems.<\/li>\n<li>Is able to scan and undelete data from Windows and Linux software RAID arrays.<\/li>\n<li>Disk Drill 5 can mount, scan, and recover data from Virtual Hard Drives (VHD and VHDX).<\/li>\n<li>Scans and recovers lost data from iPhones and iPads running iOS\/iPadOS 16+.<\/li>\n<li>Predicts recovery chances and displays file previews before you recover your data.<\/li>\n<li>Can reconstruct and properly label many image and video formats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Disk Drill is a true multi-platform data recovery software application in the sense that a scan session started on one platform (macOS) can be resumed on a different platform (Windows). This saves time and makes it easier to achieve the desired data recovery results.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"23_extra_features_of_disk_drill\"><\/span>2.3 Extra Features of Disk Drill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Besides data recovery capabilities, Disk Drill comes with several free disk tools to help you avoid data loss and take care of your storage devices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f <strong>Data Protection<\/strong>: Disk Drill for Mac is bundled with data protection features called Recovery Vault and Guaranteed Recovery. The former saves metadata of deleted files to make it easier to find them, while the latter actually creates copies of protected files.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcbf <strong>macOS Installer<\/strong>: Disk Drill 5 allows you to create your own emergency USB flash drive with macOS to help you recover data on Macs that refuse to boot properly. You can download any version of macOS directly from within the application.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd52 <strong>Byte-to-Byte Backup<\/strong>: This handy backup feature can create a full backup of any storage device to recover even from the most catastrophic cases of data loss.<\/li>\n<li>\u2728<strong> Clean Up<\/strong>: With this feature, you can get rid of unnecessary files that are taking up valuable storage space.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc4 <b>Find Duplicates<\/b>: As its name suggests, the purpose of the Duplicate Finder feature is to locate duplicate files and get rid of them in one fell swoop.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udeae <strong>Data Shredder<\/strong>: If you have a highly sensitive file, then Data Shredder can help you delete it in such a way that its recovery won\u2019t be possible\u2014not even with Disk Drill.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcdd <b>Erase Free Space<\/b>: Empty space isn\u2019t as empty as it may seem. It often hides previously deleted files, and these files can be recovered using the right data recovery software, such as Disk Drill. The Free Space Eraser feature can increase your privacy by wiping overwriting free space.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc8a <strong>S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring<\/strong>: This S.M.A.R.T. disk monitoring utility can help you detect a failing hard drive before it actually fails, giving you enough time to back up your data and buy a new storage device. The latest version of Disk Drill has introduced support for keyboard navigation and clipboard integration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"24_does_disk_drill_really_work\"><\/span>2.4 Does Disk Drill Really Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, Disk Drill can really recover permanently deleted files that macOS can\u2019t see anymore. However, you shouldn\u2019t expect it to perform miracles.<\/p>\n<p>What we mean by that is that even the best data recovery software application\u2014a prestigious group that Disk Drill definitely belongs to\u2014can\u2019t recover files that have already been overwritten by new data.<\/p>\n<p>Overwriting can happen almost immediately, but it can also take days, weeks, and even months before it becomes a problem. That\u2019s why you should always begin the data recovery process as soon as possible and use the best tool available.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"25_how_much_does_disk_drill_cost\"><\/span>2.5 How Much Does Disk Drill Cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are three versions of Disk Drill for Mac that you can choose from:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><strong>Basic<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>PRO<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Enterprise<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>\ud83d\udcb2 Price<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<td>Free<\/td>\n<td>$89.00<\/td>\n<td>$499.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>\u231b Recovery limit<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<td>Preview only<\/td>\n<td>Unlimited data recovery<\/td>\n<td>Unlimited data recovery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>\ud83d\udd0f Activations<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<td>1 user, up to 3 simultaneous activations<\/td>\n<td>Up to 10 users, \u221e activations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>\u2b50 Extra features<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<td>Byte-to-byte backups, Disk Clean-up, Duplicate Finder, Data Shredder &amp; more free data management tools built-in<\/td>\n<td>Everything in Disk Drill Basic: data loss prevention, data management tools, etc.<\/td>\n<td>Everything in Disk Drill PRO + Forensic data export (DFXML), Priority technical support<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>You can additionally purchase lifetime upgrades ($29.00 for Disk Drill PRO and $99.00 for Disk Drill Enterprise).

That\u2019s why we analyzed two popular review sites: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/disk-drill\/reviews\">G2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/review\/www.cleverfiles.com\">Trustpilot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><strong>Trustpilot<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>G2<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Number of reviews:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>144<\/td>\n<td>29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Average rating:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>4.5 stars<\/td>\n<td>3.7 stars<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The average rating between Trustpilot and G2 reviews was a strong 4.1 stars out of 5, which more or less corresponds with our own conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s interesting, however, is that 18 people on Trustpilot and 6 people on G2 gave Disk Drill just 1 star, which seems rather strange considering how capable and polished the application is. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what some of these people have to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe user interface was confusing and the time taken to do the scan was close to 6 hours for a 300 GB E-HDD.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/disk-drill\/reviews?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=1&amp;filters%5Bkeyphrases%5D=&amp;order=g2_default&amp;filters%5Bcomment_answer_values%5D=\">Sudipto B<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat it offers sounds good if it works, which it probably does in some situations but didn\u2019t for me.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/disk-drill\/reviews?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=1&amp;filters%5Bkeyphrases%5D=&amp;order=g2_default&amp;filters%5Bcomment_answer_values%5D=\">Florence R<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDoesn\u2019t actually restore partitions as it claims to be able to do.
