Most cameras don't wipe deleted or even formatted data completely to speed things up. Instead, they only erase the file system references that point to your data, while your photos, video, or other types of deleted data remain on the memory card until they are overwritten.<\/p><p>By continuing to use the card (taking new photos, recording videos, or saving any files), you're essentially writing new data over the space where your deleted files still exist. That's why Disk Drill has a very good chance of recovering recently deleted files, but if you've already filled the card with new content after deletion, those original files may be gone for good.<\/p><\/div>\n                    \n                    \n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>        <div class=\"notice \" style=\"background-color: #F0F5F8;\"><div class=\"notice-block\"><div class=\"notice-wrapper\" style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF\"><div class=\"notice-icon\"><div class=\"icon\" style=\"background-color:#D6E0E7\">!<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"notice-description\"><span class=\"mobile-view\">!<\/span><p>When your memory card has been formatted or shows signs of corruption, we recommend starting with Deep Scan because this more time-consuming method gives you the best chance of recovery by examining your card at the deepest level possible using its advanced signature scanning technology that recognizes about 400 different file types, including some of the latest ones.

For data that you regularly transfer from your SD card to your Mac, Disk Drill offers two free protection features that can make recovery instant if you accidentally delete it from your computer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Recovery Vault<\/b> monitors designated folders on your Mac and remembers the metadata (filename, location, etc.) when files are deleted. Use it to protect your photo\/video library.<\/li>\n<li><b>Guaranteed Recovery<\/b> creates invisible copies of files sent to your Mac's Trash to make them immediately available for recovery, and it works automatically for all files, including those you've previously transferred from SD cards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"protect__col-6 style2\">\n                        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/en-data-protection-disk-drill-macos-src.jpg\" alt=\" Protecting Your Data in Advance is the Best Solution\" width=\"806\" data-height=\"388\" class=\"protect__col-image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/en-data-protection-disk-drill-macos@2x.jpg 2x, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/en-data-protection-disk-drill-macos.jpg 1x\" title=\" Protecting Your Data in Advance is the Best Solution\" \/>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n        \n        <section class=\"feature-list gutter option-3\" style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF;\">\n            <div class=\"container\" >\n                        <h2 class=\"fl-title\" >\n            Technical Specifications for Disk Drill for Mac        <\/h2>\n        <div class=\"fl-description\"><\/div>            <\/div>\n\n            \n        <div class=\"fl-card container\">\n            <div class=\"card-list\">\n                                    <div class=\"card-item\">\n                        <div class=\"card-title__wrapper\">\n                            <img class=\"card-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/os_support.svg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/os_support.svg 1x\" width=\"39\" data-height=\"49\" alt=\"OS support\" title=\"OS support\"  \/><div class=\"card-title\" >OS support:<\/div>                        <\/div>\n\n                        <div class=\"card-description\" ><p>Versions of Disk Drill are available for all versions of macOS from 10.5 through the newest version macOS Tahoe (26.3).<\/p><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"card-item\">\n                        <div class=\"card-title__wrapper\">\n                            <img class=\"card-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/FilesSystemSupported.svg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/FilesSystemSupported.svg 1x\" width=\"41\" data-height=\"28\" alt=\"Stable release\" title=\"Stable release\"  \/><div class=\"card-title\" >File Systems Supported:<\/div>                        <\/div>\n\n                        <div class=\"card-description\" ><p><p>FAT16\/FAT32\/exFAT, NTFS, NTFS5, ReFS, HFS, HFS+, APFS, EXT2\/EXT3\/EXT4, BTRFS and any RAW disk<\/p><\/p><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"card-item\">\n                        <div class=\"card-title__wrapper\">\n                            <img class=\"card-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HardwareRequirements.svg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/HardwareRequirements.svg 1x\" width=\"30\" data-height=\"37\" alt=\"Hardware Requirements\" title=\"Hardware Requirements\"  \/><div class=\"card-title\" >Hardware Requirements:<\/div>                        <\/div>\n\n                        <div class=\"card-description\" ><p><p>Disk Space: 1GB minimum free space<br \/>CPU: 64-bit (x86-64) or ARM compatible CPU 1.0 GHz or faster<br \/>RAM: at least 4GB<\/p><\/p><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n                <\/section>\n\n                <section class=\"wrap block-FAQ__wrapper no-bg-mobile\" style=\"background-color: #F0F5F8;\">\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ\" id=\"block-FAQ-03bf02c\">\n\n                        <h2 class=\"h2 block-FAQ__title\" >\n            Frequently Asked Questions        <\/h2>\n        \n                <p class=\"block-FAQ__subtitle\">\n                                        <time datetime=\"2025-08-07 13:53:19\">\n                        Updated on Aug 07, 2025                    <\/time>\n                    by Disk Drill Team                <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tabs\">\n                            <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab\" id=\"question-a559af8\">\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-heading\">\n                <h3 class=\"block-FAQ__tab-title\">\n                    How to recover files from an SD card on macOS?

That's why it's best to always start with the creation of a complete backup of the card using something like the Byte-to-byte Backup feature in Disk Drill. You can then mount the image in Disk Drill using the Attach disk image option at the bottom of the Storage Devices section. After mounting, you can recover data from the image just like you would from a normal SD card, but without the risk of further damaging the original corrupted card.<\/p>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab\" id=\"question-4551554\">\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-heading\">\n                <h3 class=\"block-FAQ__tab-title\">\n                    How can I recover deleted files from SD Card on Mac for free?                <\/h3>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-icon\">\n                    <svg class=\"transition-all panel-toggle\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\"\n                         viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\"\n                         version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                         xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                        <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                            <path d=\"M7,7 L7,0 L9,0 L9,7 L16,7 L16,9 L9,9 L9,16 L7,16 L7,9 L0,9 L0,7 L7,7 Z\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__content\">\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__content-body\">\n                    <p>To recover deleted files from your SD card without spending any money:<\/p><ol><li>Open Finder and display the content of your SD card.<\/li><li>Reveal hidden files by pressing CMD + Shift + &gt;.<\/li><li>Navigate to the .Trashes folder and open the Trash folder inside.<\/li><li>Select the files you want to recover.<\/li><li>Move the selected files to a safe location.<\/li><\/ol>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab\" id=\"question-858268c\">\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-heading\">\n                <h3 class=\"block-FAQ__tab-title\">\n                    How can I recover a formatted SD card on Mac?                <\/h3>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-icon\">\n                    <svg class=\"transition-all panel-toggle\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\"\n                         viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\"\n                         version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                         xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                        <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                            <path d=\"M7,7 L7,0 L9,0 L9,7 L16,7 L16,9 L9,9 L9,16 L7,16 L7,9 L0,9 L0,7 L7,7 Z\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__content\">\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__content-body\">\n                    <p>If the card hasn't been overwritten during formatting (full format options in many cameras or the secure format options on Mac do overwrite all data), then you can recover it by connecting it to your Mac and scanning it with Disk Drill or another Mac-compatible tool capable of locating and restoring leftover data structures.<\/p>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab\" id=\"question-8fc4a7d\">\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-heading\">\n                <h3 class=\"block-FAQ__tab-title\">\n                    How can I format an SD card on Mac?                <\/h3>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-icon\">\n                    <svg class=\"transition-all panel-toggle\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\"\n                         viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\"\n                         version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                         xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                        <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                            <path d=\"M7,7 L7,0 L9,0 L9,7 L16,7 L16,9 L9,9 L9,16 L7,16 L7,9 L0,9 L0,7 L7,7 Z\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__content\">\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__content-body\">\n                    <p>Follow this procedure to format an SD card on your Mac.<\/p><ol><li>Connect the card to your Mac with an external card reader.<\/li><li>Open the\u00a0<b>Disk Utility<\/b>\u00a0application.<\/li><li>Locate the SD card in the left window pane.

If the card is not recognized, then you should check for physical damage. MicroSD cards are tiny, so it doesn't take much to crack them. If you do notice physical damage, then your best course of action is to send the card to a professional data recovery service for an assessment.<\/p>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab\" id=\"question-72a84cc\">\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-heading\">\n                <h3 class=\"block-FAQ__tab-title\">\n                    How can I recover deleted files from an SDHC card?                <\/h3>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-icon\">\n                    <svg class=\"transition-all panel-toggle\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\"\n                         viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\"\n                         version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                         xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                        <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                            <path d=\"M7,7 L7,0 L9,0 L9,7 L16,7 L16,9 L9,9 L9,16 L7,16 L7,9 L0,9 L0,7 L7,7 Z\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__content\">\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__content-body\">\n                    <p>SDHC cards hold only up to 32 GB of data, and that's not much in this day and age.
