There is, however, a possibility that utilities can retrieve recently deleted files. By clearing sectors that are no longer in use, TRIM extends the lifespan of a SSD, but it also greatly reduces the efficacy of data recovery utilities. The issue is a command called TRIM, which zeroes out the parts of the drive where deleted files were stored. To its credit, CleverFiles acknowledges that people with SSD-powered PCs are unlikely to recover deleted files. This enables the utility to reconstruct and retrieve files that might not otherwise be accessible. Deep Scan supports a huge number of file signatures-357 at last count-and uses something called signature analysis to find files based upon their structure. I selected the most exhaustive mode, Deep Scan, to maximize my chances of file recovery. Disk Drill offers numerous types of recovery scans. While I will also discuss some of the utility's unique features, this review focuses on file recovery. In the interest of testing real world usage, I selected six common file types (DOC, XLS, PDF, JPG, MP3, and MP4).

To ensure uniform testing, I deleted the same files on both machines two weeks prior to testing.

The MacBook Pro features a 120GB solid-state drive (SSD), whereas the Mac Mini uses a 500GB hard disk drive (HDD).

Both systems run the same version of macOS Sierra. I tested Disk Drill alongside four other recovery utilities using two Macs: an early-2015 MacBook Pro and a late-2014 Mac Mini.

Windows users should also note that the Mac version is more feature-rich. People running older desktops can use an earlier version of Disk Drill or consider Seagate or DiskWarrior, which offer more generous legacy support. Those with older Macs should also note that the latest version of Disk Drill requires OS X 10.8.5 or later, which would have come preinstalled with any Apple computer purchased after the fall of 2013.

While Disk Drill is a relatively small outfit that lacks dedicated recovery (as with Seagate or Prosoft), the enterprise version of the software allows users to export forensic data (DFXML) for further analysis.

#DISKWARRIOR 5 REVIEW 2017 LICENSE#

Installable on three desktops, the utility's license is less generous than DiskWarrior (unlimited) and Data Rescue (five desktops), but more straightforward than Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery 7 (one transferable) or the Seagate Premium File Recovery Suite 2.5 (one desktop, 24 recoveries or one year).įinally, CleverFiles offers enterprise licensing (for $399), which can be installed on an unlimited number of desktops. CleverFiles also offers 20 percent discounts for education, non-profit, and government workers, and lifetime upgrades for a sensible $29. At $89, the Pro version, which I tested, is more affordable than competitors, which retail between $99 and $119. Options and PricingĭiskDrill Basic compares favorably with other try-before-you-buy options: In addition to allowing you to verify recoverable data, Basic also allows you to back up failing disks and to recover protected data. But if you have an Apple computer with a traditional hard drive, Disk Drill Pro offers one of the most advanced data recovery utilities available. Like its peers, Disk Drill won't be of much service if your computer uses a solid-state drive, and the Windows version is less feature-rich than its sibling on the Mac (which I tested). Thanks to exceptionally thorough scanning and vast signature support, it returns a trove of results that you can winnow with advanced filters. The data recovery utility scans a desktop's hard drive-and any external drives connected to it-in order to retrieve and reconstruct lost files. CleverFiles Disk Drill Pro 3 ($89) turns back that clock. If you've ever accidently saved over a document or deleted a presentation, you know the pain that comes with losing a file.
