Maybe it performs better than it’s Windows counter part. However a fair amount of reviews covers the Mac version.

Fact that ‘professional’ review sites rate the program so high makes me wonder about their objectivity. I can forgive an end user a positive review if he has nothing to compare against.Īlso review sites often place Disk Drill in their top 10’s or even top 5’s. I do not have hard numbers to back up this claim, but I see people recommending it on a regular basis in various forums and other online communities. Disk Drill popularityĭisk Drill appears to be a popular tool. Seems like common sense to me that if the option is available, to first try, and if it works for you, then buy. So I feel you can’t throw this all on the plate of the software writer/seller. At the same time the user has a working license key. If people just buy and try rather than try and buy, it means I lose money without getting anything in return. Refund policies are a ‘thing’ I am struggling with too I must admit. IMO, a non refund policy should be stated on their website. If You are seeking a refund because of a Product malfunction, bug, or similar concern, please contact 508 Software as outlined at the end of this EULA or in the Terms of Service.īut they know as well as I do 9 out of 10 will not read that. However, 508 Software reserves the right to address each refund request on a case-by-case basis and in its sole discretion. No Refunds. Because of the nature of 508 Software’s Products, all purchases and sales are FINAL. It is good to be aware of the CleverFiles non refund policy. Some complaints in the comment section last couple of weeks about DiskDrill not working and refusal to give a refund. Something as simple as loading an existing directory tree on a healthy volume (called allocating existing data in Disk Drill) takes longer than for ReclaiMe or UFS Explorer to detect all data in a RAW state! The latter two parse the complete tree of a RAW volume within a matter of a few minutes while Disk Drill takes over 30 minutes (was then stopped) to parse a healthy file system.Ĭomments regarding version 4 are added to tests below. It’s just as sluggish as the previous version, their scan modes are confusing, it seems a tad faster but hardly significant and results are way below average. It’s good to see they stepped up to 64 bits but they don’t seem to be benefiting from it. UPDATE AUG 22, 2019Ĭlever Files released version 4 of the data recovery product Disk Drill.
