Too slow to find partition

Hi Everyone,

After I made a huge mistake that ruined my life, that consisted in, ran the Clean command in disk part, it was the only one step I made. I didn't formatted, installed something. After I did this mistake I closed the disk and quit the external drive immediately.

Now I found the test disk to help me, but it too slow. It's a 5TB Seagate External Drive 3.0 connected into a 3.0. It took 4 days to get to 10%. I closed the test disk and try to use the Recover it that found my partition in some minutes, but I can't see all my files inside that. Can you help me get through the best and fast way to get the partition recovered?

Should I use GPT or Intel? ( The filesystem was exFat).
I'm running test disk into a Mac.

Is it normal to be too slow?

PS: If necessary I can post photos with those results.

Thanks,
Carlos

Chose EFI GPT.
