Overview
Disk Drill Pro is a professional data recovery application for Windows 10/11 x64, developed by Cleverfiles. The application recovers lost or deleted files from hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, and other storage devices using advanced scanning algorithms and file signature recognition.
Disk Drill supports recovery of 400+ file types including documents, photos, videos, audio, and archives. The application uses multiple scanning methods: Quick Scan (file system metadata), Deep Scan (signature-based scanning), and Partition Search (lost partition recovery).
