Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 93 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Many customers found the product to be a lifesaver, effectively recovering a significant amount of data, including files thought to be lost forever, from various devices like hard drives, SSDs, and SD cards. People appreciate the software's ability to preserve folder structures and file names, making reorganization much easier, and its user-friendly interface, even for those without IT experience. The customer service is frequently praised for being professional, patient, and responsive, with many reviewers highlighting the helpfulness of the support team in guiding them through the recovery process. However, some customers also noted issues where the software did not work for them, with files listed as recoverable not actually being restored, or experiencing problems with license activation. A few other people also felt that customer support was cold and dismissive, focusing on policy rather than understanding the user's situation.

So glad I found Disk Drill

So glad I found Disk Drill. Works amazing. I lost 36 audio file recordings when I mistakenly formatted the my memory card. Sure enough Disk Drill recovered all 36 files in less than an hour. Back to work on my project! If you need disk recovery just buy Disk Drill. It works so good.

First of all you have a great product

First of all you have a great product, which I used in a previous version. Secondly I have bought many applications but I've seen for first time so classy and excellent after sales support in a really complex and difficult problem from the company and my conduct person! It is really excellent to have one and the same person (private) supporting you as he understands better customer's problem. I congratulate the company for its quality and the quality of its personnel. I feel obliged to say "Thank you Mit a lot you saved my files and my time. 5 stars++".
PS: I recovered a fully loaded Toshiba 3 TB disk after a power failure loss, with an almost 95% succcess. My only suggestion to give more files with their existing name if it is possible. But another application gave me back the names, but only 50% of the files was working! Disk Drill found 12,500 bad blocks proposing backup. Thank you all again I was dissapointed not waiting to solve the problem.

In the blink of an eye

In the blink of an eye, I deleted thousands of images from my Leica's SD card - - RAW images taken over months and months. Yes, I was an idiot. I was also in despair.

Did some investigation, tried one program which saved quite a few, but they were fragmented and just a mess.

At last I discovered Disk Drill PRO, and although it was expensive, they allowed me a 50% discount because I'd already bought a competitor's program.

AND IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got every single picture back, in pristine, RAW condition.

They've been incredibly timely, professional and helpful in correspondence, and so, bottom line, trust them. Because holy moley, what a miracle they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant program that really works!

Found this software in a desperate google search after a key external drive had crashed and become inaccessible. Not sure how best to use the program I got in touch with Disk Drill who were really helpful in suggesting workarounds. Eventually, after 3 scans and an aborted attempt to image the disk (the drive it was backing-up to crashed as well), the program recovered pretty much the entire contents of the disk, including all the corrupted files. This is a really well-designed piece of software that's easy to use and gives clear options and instructions. It also stores the scans so that the material retrieved can be recovered at any time, to any drive. Would highly recommend.

THANK YOU

I just wanted to say THANK YOU..THANK YOU....THANK YOU!!!!! You saved me from TOTAL RUINS! Story goes...I accidentally formatted a main drive and "thought" i lost everything. I searched and searched for software to help me try to recover it. Since i am somewhat good with computers...other than making the biggest mistake of my life..I left the drive alone and parked it...till i found your software. I said ok..lets try it. I have to say... it was the most thorough procedure i have ever seen!!. Not only did it find everything...and put just about all my important stuff back in folders...which i never ever thought i would get, and other reconstructed folders separated in great catagories. I think because i left it alone it certainly helped get back my whole life! But reguardless of that... yes it took almost 18 hours to scan over 400,000 files and about 16 hours to replace on another drive. ALL went very smooth and no crashes and super big smile on my face!!!! I thought you should know...and i would recommend this to anyone!!!
Thanks again!

I would give them 0 stars if possible.

I would give them 0 stars if possible.
I bought the Disk drill pro as I could not use the free version as the files I had to recover were larger than 500 mb.
The disk drill pro did nothing! I have the files, but they are all corrupted and some of them cannot be opened. I paid £89 for nothing and according to them I do not qualify for a refund.
They are clearly a company that only wants to sell it's products and do not genuinely want to help

Hi Simona,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re sorry to hear about the trouble you faced.

We strive to be transparent by allowing users to evaluate the recoverability of their files with a preview before upgrading, and we always aim to help in these situations. The preview option is always available on any Disk Drill version, and it's the only way to confirm that a specific file is recoverable. This is explained in detail before the app launch, in the very first onboarding tutorial.

The order has been refunded. Please let us know if there is anything else we could help you with.

WOWW! It Works, incredible results!

WOWW ! Unbelievable results - IT WORKS
I can’t even begin to explain how amazing this software and company are to have been able to miraculously save each and everyone of my corrupted lost files!

I can’t recommend DISKDRILL enough!. It’s evidently the best most effective recovery software available on the open marketplace. I’ve gone through many others and many that don’t work -
With disk drill and it’s user friendly interface full of options and a 100% guaranteed full recovery of salvable viewable files. Incredible.

I was repeatedly let down by other software providers, but not with disk drill
this is an amazing working product and worth the Investment.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Scammers

They just took the money, didn't give access to the product and no money back

They're just common scammers

Worked perfectly

Used Disk Drill to recover a large collection of video files from an external hard drive that had been ejected too quickly – about 2TB of data in total. It worked perfectly and I managed to get everything back.

Desk Drill is an easy-to-use product that saved my files from a near catastrophe. Their customer service is top-notch. They responded very quickly to my emails and clearly committed to providing their users with a great experience. Thank you so much to Svitlana and the rest of the company.

Great Customer Service

I made a mistake with my order that David S quickly resolved, even though it was completely my fault and something the company wasn't obligated to fix.

Disk Drill was able to restore some of the data in spite of the major corruption caused by the device writing to the SD card. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to get anything back at all.

Kudos to DiskDrill

We were in desperate situation. We accidentally formatted a partition on our server's backup drive while doing a server recovery, due to a simple mistake in typing the command through Linux and we had no further backup for that drive.

Fortunately, the rescue version of linux didn't send the TRIM command to the SSD and DiskDrill did fantastic job to recover all the data from drive with the intact folder structure.

We are giving whole hearted thanks to DiskDrill development team to save us from a major disaster.
