I had to weigh how much my peace of mind was worth.
I have been using Disk Drill around 5 years now and it has got me out of trouble many times as I am always fiddling with my computer. Today I needed the instructions and keycode to install the software on my new system. I have had to reach out to the staff at Cleverfiles more times than I can remember for a multitude of different requests and every time I do they are very quick to return my emails and solve my problem. I have used many different free and paid file recovery programs. Many did nothing at all. I was concerned at hiking over, I don't remember now but it was well over $100 for the lifetime upgrade. Now I am at liberty to tinker with my BIOS and overclock everything or install a dual boot system because I know that I have a byte to byte back up of the entire system I can restore everything with. Peace of mind is worth it's weight in gold when you rely on your computer like I do.
