Has it ever happened to you that you have mistakenly deleted an important file from your computer? Did your antivirus delete a vital photo or program from your PC because it thought it was defective? Well, it is better that you take action on the matter as soon as possible and use a service specially developed for this purpose, as is the case of Disk Drill Windows Data Recovery, which from now on, we will call Disk Drill.

Disk Drill is then a software oriented to the recovery of contents we have eliminated by mistake on our computer, trying to achieve that they are not lost entirely and that they are available again. It serves especially in cases where the Restore system of Windows is not valid, and many applications like Recuva or this are more potent if we have such intentions.

Operation

According to its creators, one of the main advantages this program has over other similar ones is that it is compatible with more than 200 file formats, so there will be no problems of this type. It doesn't matter if you want to recover a Word document, an audio file, a photograph, an application you have deleted, or any other content; this system will detect it among the deleted ones.

Another interesting detail about this platform is that it allows us to recover files on the computer's hard disk and other storage spaces such as USB devices, memory cards, etc. This is important because we often delete content from these places, and if the program in question did not support them, we would need another one.

Also, like other similar software, we see that it has two methods of analysis of all the contents that are part of our computer, one simpler and faster, and a more comprehensive one that demands more time. In this sense, we find that it works similarly to an antivirus, although it is clear that its objectives are different.

While it is true that Disk Drill does not offer too many tools that the competition does not also provide, we must think that its file recovery rate is one of the highest on the market. The speed of scans, whether simple or more complex, is usually faster than what we are used to.

We could say that one of the few aspects in which this platform differs from others in the segment is the incorporation of a section called Recovery Camera. It works so that all the files we delete, consciously or unconsciously, are stored there. This way, in case of any incident, we can recover them without going through the scans.

To bear in mind

Although we have been analyzing the operation of Disk Drill on computers with the Windows operating system, we do not want to fail to mention that there is a very similar version that we can install on computers Mac from Apple.

As for the application's user interface, the truth is that we liked it because it is clean to the eye, so it is easy to find the contents we are working on without wasting too much time. Using icons and graphics also adds to the experience we can get. Perhaps the only criticism we could make is that the translation into other languages is incomplete.

The best

If we had to mention the main strong points of this program, we would have to talk about its ease of use since it is not complicated to adapt to its functions. In addition, it is a platform with excellent file recovery success rates. And to that, we would add that it has two types of scanning to select the one we are most interested in.

The worst thing

There are only two issues we could consider as criticisms of this software; the first of them concerns that it is a program that, although it works well, is not too modern and does not have so many added functions. On the other hand, although there is a translation in many languages, it does not count since it is incomplete.

Evaluation

Disk Drill is a program we think you should have installed on your computer, and if you don't like this one in particular, you should look for a similar one and keep it handy in case you ever delete some content that you didn't intend to delete. This is mainly because, as we have pointed out above, the time issue is essential if we want to have a chance of recovering those files in the same state in which they were deleted.
