Comprehensive Analysis of T2, M1, M2, and M3 Macs


Disk Drill, as a robust data recovery application, necessitates deep access to scanned storage devices. macOS grants this high level of access exclusively to trusted software, and Disk Drill stands out as the premier solution for recovering deleted data from both external drives and system disks powering Macs, including those equipped with Intel, Apple T2, M1, M2, and M3 chips.

Disk Drill gains the required access by employing its own kernel extension, commonly referred to as kext. This extension enables Disk Drill to collaborate with the macOS kernel, facilitating access to your data storage devices and extraction of recoverable data from them.

Time Machine Archives and Snapshots

Even if permanently deleted files are overwritten by new data, Disk Drill facilitates their recovery by parsing Time Machine backup disks and scanning local Time Machine snapshots, simplifying the process.

Time Machine backup disks, whether external or network-attached storage devices, store incremental backups of your files. Disk Drill automatically detects these disks, enabling one-click scanning. Additionally, Disk Drill can scan local Time Machine snapshots, saved on the system drive when backup disks are unavailable.

Apple's Native Silicon (M1, M2, and M3) Compatibility

Since their debut in November 2020, ARM-based M1 chip Macs have surged in popularity due to their impressive energy efficiency and performance. However, the shift in architecture has impacted compatibility with apps designed solely for Intel-based Macs, necessitating users to depend on Rosetta 2, a dynamic binary translator.

The newest iteration of Disk Drill is optimized for both older Intel-based Macs and the latest Macs featuring M1, M2, and M3 chips. This ensures efficient and rapid retrieval of lost data from any compatible storage device.
