From what you wrote the possibility of recovering data I disconnected the drive as soon as I learned what happened. > erased by the garbage collector at any time. > in a new physical block and the old block is just discarded and will be > immediately erased when writing new data, because new data are written > Physically : in a rotating hard disk, overwritten data are immediately > I read that it is harder to recover data from an SSD hard drive due to the different technology. > The other day I was in a rush, I was trying to format a thumb drive, and accidentally formatted the SSD hard drive instead. > I have an external SSD hard drive, about 1 Terabyte.

PhotoRec is free - this open source multi-platform application is distributed under GNU General Public License (GPLV v2+). This means that while using PhotoRec, you must not choose to write the recovered files to the same partition they were stored on. Important: As soon as a pic or file is accidentally deleted, or you discover any missing, do NOT save any more pics or files to that memory device or hard disk drive otherwise you may overwrite your lost data. PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's file system has been severely damaged or reformatted.įor more safety, PhotoRec uses read-only access to handle the drive or memory card you are about to recover lost data from. PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures (thus the Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory.
