Scan of a 2 TB HDD is supposed to take more than 9 months!
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 11:52 pm
Hello,
I´ve installed the test version of R-Studio (vers. 6.1.152028) to scan a 2 TByte Western Digital HDD. This HDD was installed on an ESATA port at my Synology NAS, when I installed this. I had a copy of (hopefully) all my files on this 2 TByte HDD, but I am not sure, in which format. I think, it´s been EXT4, but might have been NTFS or FAT32 as well...
Next thing I did was deleting the partition after I (thought I) copied all files back to the NAS, to prepare the HDD as a "normal" backup volume. I did not do this for weeks and found out a few days ago, that folders with digital photos (all JPG) are missing (from folder L... to Z...). The HDD should be physically ok.
To try and recover the files, I started a scan in R-Studio. In the options, I chose the file systems mentioned above (EXTx, NTFS, FATx) and file type JPG only. The HDD is connected to an ESATA port to my PC, running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit version.
After running over 15 hours now, the scan is not completed to 1% - the time, that´s calculated for the complete scan is 9 months and 9 days! Is there anyone who has an idea, why the scan is so slow (at this moment 4.70 GByte are done of 2,000!). Maybe the physical setting of cylinders, heads, etc. is not correct?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards
Martin
