The sticking point here is the three-computer max per user, which is lifted by purchasing a Commercial license for $399. The Pro license will get you access to all the same features of the Free version without any limit on the amount of data you can recover from any drive. The only limitation is the 500MB cap of recovered data, which you’ll have to pay $89.00 at minimum to lift. Free users get access to the full range of Disk Drill’s features including the Guaranteed Recovery data protection service, unlimited data backup, and unlimited scans/file previews. Of all the data recovery software options we’ve reviewed for this roundup, CleverFiles offers far and away the most options on the free variant of their Disk Drill program. These results blow the rest of the competition clean out of the water, however we suspect it may be these crazy quick scan times that might the culprit as to why we had difficulty recovering some files in the first place. That said, for both the HDD and the SSD tests the full scan process was suspiciously fast, taking a total of only 36 minutes to complete on the HDD and 13 minutes on the SSD. Given that so many other programs have excelled in the preview department, it was disappointing to see so many misses on this side of things with Disk Drill. zip were able to make it out with 100% file health.įile preview was equally spotty, and actually couldn’t seem to reconstruct any of the files we had originally deleted. Results returned by Disk Drill Recovery Pro were mixed, with some image and video files getting jumbled up during recovery while other more whole files like. Also although we’re not sure exactly why, as you can see in the screenshot above while Disk Drill was running Windows attributed the increased disk activity to its System application rather than Disk Drill itself. There was no noticeable impact on our system while we were running the deep scan, and at max Disk Drill only used about 10% of our CPU, 1% of our RAM, and 117.5MB/s on the HDD being scanned. We recorded the length of how long the scan took on our test system, which features a 7th-gen Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz processor (overclocked to 5.1GHz on closed-loop liquid cooling), 16GB of DDR4-3000MHz RAM, a 256GB m.2 SSD, a 1TB HDD, and an NVIDIA GTX 1070 GPU. To test Disk Drill Pro’s data recovery capabilities, we stored (and deleted) five different file types – *.exe, *.jpeg, *.mp3, *.zip, and *.txt – to see how it could recover data from an SSD, an HDD, and a USB flash drive.įor the first test, I ran a basic scan on my 1TB Seagate 7200RPM to see what it could pull up. It saves the metadata of the files so if you ever want to recover them in the future Disk Drill will have a 100% success rate during the reconstruction process.
