DMDE Free Edition is actually the best data recovery software I found. I ended up in a situation where I needed to recover several 2+ TB hard drives and with every other software I tried it was a mess of a process with literally days long deep scans and then around $100 for the software.

I was happy to pay the reasonable registration fee for DMDE as it instantly found all the files and even recreated the directory structure -- no incessant wait for deep scans and other nonsense. DMDE just worked.

What a powerful and intuitive application at a very reasonable cost. Thank you for developing it and for the reasonable licensing fees.

I must be the only person on the planet that this software has not helped. I feel so alone!

Fantastic and simple to use. Just what I needed.
Thanks!

Saved my life and HDD, obviously :). Thank you.

Many thanks. My external hard drive suddenly became unavailable. I spent a fortune, relatively speaking, on another software (EaseUS) which couldn't do the job. What a disappointment. But your software did a WONDERFUL JOB!!! I was able to recover all my files (over 1TB). You will definitely stay in my "tool box". This was really well spent $$$. Thanks again. You saved the day.

DMDE is by far the best tool I have found to recover data from damaged drives. It astounds me that the free version, while limited, allows you to recover essentially an unlimited amount of files. The Pro editions are well priced and I will certainly be purchasing a licence soon.

The only useful tool I have ever used to recover my files on pendrive.
FREE AND REAL
Thanks dmde!

A classic: Changing drive letter in Windows, all of a sudden the file system is corrupted and shown as RAW. The backup was, of course, corrupted.

I've tried many tools before (testdisk, EaseUS, ...). Only the paid ones were able to detect the files.

DMDE is not only the cheapest, but also appears trustworthy.

Thanks for helping me restore all of my music production work from the last 9 years!

Thank you for saving me! I had an external hard drive that could not be used any more. Windows asked me to format it due to a cyclic redundancy error. Tried different recovery programs. But all my data seemed lost. DMDE solved it without any problems, thanks!!!

I'd like to add my thanks to the others here.

Your software is currently helping me rescue almost 1.5TB of data from an external hard drive that suffered cat-related impact damage.

As soon as I saw it working, I had no hesitation in buying a license.

Thank you!
