Disk Drill is a Windows application that helps users restore data from internal and external storage devices. It contains powerful recovery algorithms for bringing back to life damaged or overwritten files. Tools for monitoring various hard drive parameters in real time are provided as well.

Restoration process

The first step is to select the source partition with lost data. You can filter the list to view only hardware disks, logical volumes, RAID arrays or other types of partitions. Moreover, there is an option to sort the contents by label, type, connection method and capacity.

Like in MiniTool Power Data Recovery, users are able to analyze the device to detect erased and corrupted files. The Deep Scan option is intended for finding deleted pieces of data even after formatting the drive. Identified items can be quickly restored to a new location.

Extra tools

You can access detailed technical information about any storage device, including the temperature, amount of power cycles, uptime counter and raw read error rate. This functionality is helpful for troubleshooting potential issues with hard drives.

There are instruments for protecting critical files from accidental deletion by placing their copies in a special Recovery Vault area. The program automatically synchronizes all changes made to the original item with the backup.
