Hi,

Im trying to recover deleted files from an external SSD drive (WT Elements 2TB).

Testdisk output using Intel partition type:

1 P HPFS-NTFS
No partition is bootable

After quick search:

Only 1 P HPFS-NTFS found.
Strucutre is ok. NTFS, blocksize = 4096, 2000 GB / 1862 GB

Problem 1:
During Deep search the cylinder analysis is too slow.

Problem 2:
When trying Photorec only a few files recovered and scan speed is also too slow.

Problem 3:
A cannot create a disk image since I dont have any other storage drive with similar or greater size to store it.

Any tips on how to proceed in order to speed up cylinder analysis or Photorec scan are very welcome.

Regards,
Fortuna

I don't know company called WT. I don't find any SSD labeled "Elements".

My car is too slow, too. I will make holidays far way. In rare cases this medicament will kill you.
Do you understand the message?

See my comment above. Recovering on the same partition will overwrite what your looking for. As the head of your drive has to perform write operations as well, throughput will slow down depending on the ratio of write operations needed compared to reading operations.

Problem 3:

Buy another drive.

Summary: Please provide usable and precise information instead of leaving me in the dark.

Your parents would be very disappointed with restoration at cgsecurity.org (if they could read your message).

It is stupid to not be polite with those you dont know, and even more stupid with those you do know.

Try to use your time providing light rather than being afraid with the dark.
