And if you could fix your problem with Disk Warrior but only have Disk Drill, it may work for you but it would be a 'recovery job' whereas Disk Warrior would be a much simpler and faster overall solution as a 'fix catalog file' job.Īs far as lost or accidentally deleted files go, that's really what Time Machine is for, and although I forgo hourly backups, I do use Time Machine to backup to an external spinning platter disk manually. And the fact is that if you can fix directory damage, you might not even need another utility like Disk Drill at all. Even Tech Tool Pro, which supposedly will fix or replace damaged directories cannot fix damage to the catalog file (directory) in many cases, whereas Disk Warrior can replace the directory in every case I've ever had. In my case, I've found nothing comes close to Disk Warrior. Available now with lifetime updates for just 49.99 (57 off the regular price of 118), Disk Drill Pro 4 may just be your Mac’s new best friend.

How then can we know what we really need? If you are using the Disk Drill Android recovery tool on a Mac, then the overall interface would be a bit different (but the process will be the same). The underlying flaw of this article is that it makes no comparisons whatsoever to any other utility, not even Apple Disk Utility.
