Disk Drill 5.3.1313
Free Trial Version
Publisher Description
Disk Drill is your all-in-one data management solution with the major focus on top-notch deleted file recovery algorithms. Whatever device you lost your data on, if you can connect it to a Mac, Disk Drill can scan it and has a good chance to recover deleted files.
Accidentally deleted files can be easily retrieved with the Quick Scan. In case of a less recent data loss, Disk Drill performs a Deep Scan, a thorough search of the entire drive to reconstruct lost files. Deep Scan is one of the most advanced Disk Drill's recovery algorithms. It works even when hard drives lose their formatting and disk space is marked as unallocated. Disk Drill also does hard drive recovery for RAID arrays, Core Storage and Fusion Drives - all in a minimal user-friendly interface.
Moreover, if you install Disk Drill before any data gets lost, you can benefit from its free data protection features. There are two major modules offered by Disk Drill to prevent accidental data loss: Guaranteed Recovery invisibly makes copies of deleted files and folders you put in your Mac's Trash; Recovery Vault keeps records of all metadata for deleted files so that they can quickly be recovered with their original names and locations.
Disk Drill is also packed with free disk tools like duplicate file finder, data shredder, disk cleanup and space visualization, boot disk maker, byte-to-byte backups, disk health monitoring, and more!
