If a disk or partition is failing, you can easily backup it into a disk image (DMG) which can later be mounted for recovery.ĭisk Drill PRO also features a number of advanced scanning modes for data recovery of FAT, NTFS, HFS/HFS+, other file systems and formatted (initialized) drives. disk monitoring right out-of-the-box you can monitor your disks' hardware status and get automatic notifications of potential failures or other issues. Disk Drill also includes powerful S.M.A.R.T. So you will always be able to recover data from Mac files system (HFS/HFS+) and FAT32 partitions. When something is deleted Recovery Vault makes it possible to recover not only the file itself, but also its properties, such as original file name, location, etc. Unlike that venerable application, Disk Drill Pro can only perform a catalog rebuild on partitions that refuse to mount correctly otherwise this option won’t appear at all in the dropdown menu.Disk Drill is available in a Free/Basic version and a Pro version for $89.ĭisk Drill is a Mac data recovery software designed natively for Mac OS: easily protect your files from accidental deletion with Recovery Vault and recover lost data from Mac disks.
The Pro version can also mount found items as a new disk, but this feature requires the aging (and occasionally buggy) Fuse for OS X to be installed.ĭisk Drill Pro 2 can also be used to rebuild the catalog of Mac HFS+ partitions, a task traditionally reserved for utility software like DiskWarrior. Returning one or more files and folders from the grave is as easy as making a selection and clicking the green Recover button in the upper right corner. Once a scan has completed, users preview a file’s contents using the Quick Look or view in hexadecimal format to assure it’s complete prior to recovery. I tested the latter option on my 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display’s 500GB internal SSD which clocked in around eight minutes, and did indeed turn up a respectable number of additional photos, documents, and other files that Quick Scan could not. In addition to the Quick Scan that skims through deleted files within seconds on even the largest volumes, Disk Drill Pro also offers Deep Scan, a process that takes significantly longer but has far better odds of rooting out lost media. A single-user license works on up to three Macs, with lifetime upgrades available for an additional $29.Īt first launch, Disk Drill walks users through an extensive tutorial, along with setting up a few options to help future data recovery. While the Basic edition provides continuous protection with core features such as Recovery Vault and Guaranteed Recovery along with the ability to back up failing volumes to a disk image backup (DMG) stored on an external drive, the Pro version adds a few more robust options.
