What is Disk Drill?
Disk Drill is a data recovery software that easily protects your files from accidental deletion with Recovery Vault and recovers lost data from disks. Disk Drill supports most of storage drives, file types and file systems. Disk Drill recovers deleted files from iPhone and Android devices! This data recovery software can also find duplicate files, clean your disk and visualize disk space usage; offers bootable data recovery drive, byte-to-byte backups, disk health monitoring, and more. 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. So you will always be able to recover data from files system (HFS/HFS+) & FAT32 partitions. Disk Drill also includes powerful S.M.A.R.T. disk monitoring right out-of-the-box; you can monitor your disks' hardware status and get automatic notifications of potential failures or other issues. If a disk or partition is failing, you can easily backup it into a disk image (DMG) which can later be mounted for recovery.
The Disk Drill FREE TRIAL download enables the user to recover up to 500 MB of data and test the features of the program before committing to a licensed version of the product.
Disk Drill PRO features a number of advanced scanning modes for data recovery of FAT, NTFS, HFS/HFS+, other file systems and formatted (initialized) drives. Using Quick Scan you can locate deleted items on FAT and NTFS disks, this scanning method is fast and accurate, but is unlikely to find data deleted long ago. With Deep Scan you can try to recover data from any disk or memory card regardless of their file system. This recovery method scans your disk in a binary mode and is capable of finding deleted files even after formatting.

It helped me to recover my on-going thesis folder that was lost on a move from my laptop to a backup-disk -_-". the coincidence... Fortunately, this application recovered the files in the folder although not all the file names and the folders' hierarchy were recovered. But it let me go to sleep well that night. Thank you!
Highlights From a review i previously wrote on my website:
The program itself is quite clean looking, and easy to figure out .
Disk Drill found over 164,000 total deleted files on the deep scan. …
I obviously don’t have time to go through them all and verify them
So I randomly picked 30 pictures, 30 videos etc and made sure they were not corrupted
To my surprise I actually found some found some large video files in there that I thought I had lost forever, including some wedding footage from years ago and the only footage of a friend who passed away 3 years ago other programs had failed to find them before which is a good sign for the program.
Don't waste your time. It is not "free with limited functionality". It's free to install so you can be forced to pay to do anything. It also didn't find anything of use for me, so a waste of time. Immediate uninstall.
The worst ever app i have wasted my time with. It is poorly useless. It is NOT free and w'd not recommend it at all. :( i wouldn't even put a star since it is not deserve it but i'd had to to write my troth.
The first Mac data recovery software with macOS Big Sur support. Disk Drill 4 is the biggest update in the program’s history, the software has received significant improvements and refinements, including the new UI and Dark Mode. It’s more intuitive and easier to navigate and displays all of the functionality of the application in its main window.
Finds a lot of stuff, however, it doesn't appear to show them as their original file names, nor does it show the original file structure. Makes recovery way too painful. An Explorer-like tree view with all original names is a must.
Has a 500MB limit for the free version, thus not the best for larger video files. :(
