5 stars! This software is nothing short of phenomenal. My wifes laptop went into an automatic repair loop and would not boot up no matter what we tried. We called 2 repair techs. The first would have cost a couple of hundred dollars so we passed on him. The second tech, took the computer, had it a couple of days, but was unable to recover anything. Needless to say, my wife was bummed out losing all her pictures and documents. We happen to have another laptop that I will be replacing the screen on and I thought why not take this one apart and see if the screen might work. In doing so I looked at the failed hard drive and thought, let me give it a shot. I tried a couple of the other recovery program trials and nothing. Then I came across DMDE and figured try it as well. Let me tell you, It was the best feeling when the files started to show up on the screen. I immediately bought a license and it is the best money I ever spent. I highly recommend it.
I am super happy with that smart tool! Really recommend it. I am a MAC user and I am not a programmer. My RAID1 back-up disk(s) stopped working - neither in RAID or individual. Could not mount it - tried Disk doctor no avail. FSCK command did not work. Looked and downloaded various Disc repair and recovery tools incl. heavily promoted stuff like Disk Drill and similar - all looked very complicated and the price was a bit too high for my taste. Looked around for two days before coming across this sweet tool. Downloaded the basic version first - DMDE could immediately access the disk and within seconds I had a few files recovered!!! Bought the license and as I write this I am happily recovering about 600GB of various data including 20 years of pictures and videos. THX!!!
This software is seriously awesome. I was debating between paying for EaseUS vs. MiniTool recovery and hard drive utility packages, but saw this option on a reddit thread where the common agreement seemed to be "NEITHER, they're both overpriced rip-offs that have limited capabilities compared to DBME." I'm more than satisfied. I've recovered everything I needed from 7 out of 7 messed up hard drives that had various issues from corrupt partition tables, hardware/sector damage, RAW recovery, NTFS repair/rebuilding, and just plain recovering deleted files. I'm more than happy with paying the $20 for such a powerful tool.
My only critique would be the cryptic and slightly disorganized UI, that doesn't DPI-scale properly to 4k screens and takes some time to understand/learn. I am a software developer, and I would love to rewrite the front-end/UI in WPF/UWP/Maui as a modern, easier to use, pretty looking interface.
support:
There are some improvements in the newer versions when using with high-DPI monitors. However more information is necessary to figure out what is wrong in a specific case. In order to resolve issues there is a feedback form. The mentioned new UI-frameworks are generally for mobile devices. For example UWP is already deprecated by Microsoft. It shows there is no much sense to rewrite for new frameworks.
When to support encrypted partition recovery for HFS and APFs?
What's more, BitLocker encrypted partition recovery and partition corruption or redo system recovery?
support:
Thank you for suggesting new features. The most requested features are taken into account when developing new versions, however implementing of advanced features can take a long time.
This software is without limitations, complex and fulfills what it proposes to do. In addition to having a hexadecimal analysis tool very useful for recovering files.
