In Disk Drill intensive Deep Scanning and surface Quick Recovery are amplified by powerful lost partition search and several file system healing methods.
Disk Drill is fully-charged to recover data from your computer's system hard drive or almost any device you can connect to it, including external hard drives, USB flash drives, cameras, memory cards, MP3 players and more. Your storage device may be running on any file system: NTFS, FAT, HFS, EXT4, exFAT, or it may be erased or formatted, Disk Drill will do its best to recover deleted files in the most accurate way.
Should you lose your data due to emptying of recycle bin, camera failure, missing backup disk, power disruption, improper partitioning, etc., Disk Drill's robust deleted file recovery can help in various cases.
Get the free Disk Drill, connect and scan the drive the files were lost on. Disk Drill will find all the files and folders that are still recoverable.
Select the ones you were looking for or go ahead and recover everything, so you could dedicate some time to sorting the data out later. Your data is recovered.
Disk Drill for Windows also features "Recovery Vault" - the unique technology that works in the background of your file activity, secretly monitors deleted folders and stores the required meta-data to ease the deleted data recovery in future. Disk Drill can also monitor your disk's health via S.M.A.R.T. and warn you of any potential hardware issues.
