In today’s digital world, Accidentally loss of data files such as important business documents, photos and videos the worst nightmare faced by people. Whether it’s through a virus attack, natural disaster or human error, losing crucial files and information can be costly. Imagine you’ve spent a month taking incredible photos on your trip, but suddenly all been completely wiped from your computer. In such scenarios, Data recovery software comes handy. But most of these file recovery software won’t work in 90% cases. In this post, we are discussing a data recovery tool using which we are actually able to recover lost data keeping the data intact. Free Disk Drill can scan and recover data from virtually any storage device — including internal hard drives, external hard drives, cameras, iPhones, iPads, iPods, Android devices, USB flash drives, Kindles, and memory cards.
Installation and User Interface
The first thing we like about Disk drill is its small size of the installation file and its sleek user interface. You can download data drill form their official site. The installation process is very simple and straightforward.
The user interface contains only one main window which is divided into partitions on internal hard drive and external storages. Altogether, you do not need to be a tech expert to perform the data recovery operation. The UI is super easy to interact even if you are a complete novice.
Features of Disk Drill
An epic feature of Disk Drill is that its deep scan feature can recover even if your hard drive lost its partitions. What if the drive partition is so damaged it can’t be brought back? Then use 7-Data Recovery’s Deep Scan to get back the file data lost in the partition and restore them on another drive. In addition, it supports all the major file types like Word Documents (DOC and DOCX), Excel (XLS and XLSX), movie files (MPG, AVI), music files (MP3, AAC) — all these and more can be detected and restored with Deep Scan. You can recover deleted photo irrespective of their format. Also, you can pause/resume data recovery process at any time according to your convenience.
Working and Performance
Go to 7datarecovery official site, download and install the disk drill either for Windows or Mac OS depending on your operating system. We have tested disk drill to recover deleted photos on Windows only, but it should work as good as for the Mac OS. To start recovering files, select the partition on internal disk or some external storage device (In my case, it is standard SD card connected to my laptop), and hit the blue recover button to run a scan and search for lost files. The program starts the operation first with a quick scan and then performs a deep scan. In our case, we are able to recover all deleted image files, but one video file was not shown in the recovery file list even after performing deep scan two times.
Unlike some other recovery software, there is no noticeable performance impact on the system while using the Disk Drill. For only photos, disk drill recovery operation was very quick and recorded photos were in 100% health. This makes it one of the best photo recovery software. Files are divided up into file types, and you can quickly select the types of files you want to recover. If you’re just looking for a particular file type, this is a very useful feature. For an HDD of 1 TB, it took around 39 minutes to complete the deep scan.
