PhotoRec Experiences long delays between Reading sectors
Posted: 05 Mar 2015, 17:03
I have a 1TB drive that was accidentally reformatted.
At first PhotoRec was going reasonably fast (had a 19 hour estimated time)
So far I've recovered about 50,000 files, but in the last 24 hours the program has slowed right down. I've gone through about 25% of the drive at this point, and the software is only recovering a few files every hour. The session I'm running right now has done ~150 files in 7 hours.
Is there a reason it's going this slow? Is there a way for me to tell the program to jump ahead?
