After almost 2 days, still same speed. I stopped it and ran it again, this time adding -n -r1 -c16 parameters (it picked up exactly where I stopped it) and now the average speed is around 90KB/s.
Still 300+ days left

DDrescue runs for 20h on a live Ubuntu session.
It recovered so far 2.5GB (0.12%), with no bad sectors but with 5 read errors. Average speed: 36KB/s. Estimated time remaining: 2126d 59m. :|
Is there a chance it will actually finish in a few days, not years? Maybe after getting past the bad portion ...

Alright, will try that. Thanks for the suggestion.

BTW, I updated the firmware and removed the password protection. Each operation took roughly 30 minutes.

Hello.

I got an external 2TB WD My Passport Ultra that appears to be RAW in disk management.
TestDsik is telling that there is a partition, I can list the files, but when I ran the imaging option, after 24h it only saved 1.3GB of data (I had to stop it).
Is this normal? Can I speed it up somehow ...
