Looking for the Best Data Recovery Software for Mac

Hi everyone,

I recently lost some video files while transferring data from my SD card to an external hard drive. I’m not exactly sure what went wrong, but the videos are now missing, and I’m hoping to recover them.

I’m using a Mac and don’t mind paying for a reliable tool—as long as it’s effective and has a good success rate for recovering deleted video files. If anyone has experience with a trustworthy data recovery software for macOS, I’d really appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

For recovering lost video files on macOS, one of the most reliable and user-friendly options is Stellar Data Recovery for Mac. It’s well-optimized for macOS (including M1/M2/M3 chips), supports recovery from SD cards, external drives, and internal volumes, and is especially effective at retrieving lost or deleted video files—even from partially corrupted media.

Other solid options include Disk Drill and PhotoRec, though the latter is more manual and less Mac-native.

I’d recommend starting with Stellar’s free scan to preview recoverable files before purchasing. Just make sure you stop using the SD card or external drive immediately to avoid overwriting any recoverable data
