After Undelete 4 files - no files still
After Undelete 4 files - no files still
I accidentally deleted 4 files from the directory, 100GB each. R-Undelete recovers them in an hour or two and there is still nothing at the destination. R-undelete with licence. New disk WD Gold 10TB, destination disk -corsair 2TB MP600
Re: After Undelete 4 files - no files still
What is the file system of the disk with deleted files?

Check the files in a Hex editor and see if they are all filled with zeros from beginning to end. I have a suspicion that WD may have added T.R.I.M. support to their new Gold drives as they did with some of their recent portable models.
If so, the drive won't even attempt to read the sectors containing the deleted data because those sectors were removed from the second layer translator and the HDD's controller just assumes they are blank.

Unfortunately, R-Undelete doesn't have a built-in Hex viewer.
Looks like almost all HDDs larger than 1 TB are based on the SNR technology and make use of the TRIM command.

No, but a demo of R-Studio does. Or even a free version of Winhex would work.
Were you able to find any WD documentation on support of T.R.I.M. in their Gold series drives? I wasn't finding anything the last time I checked. I know back in the spring of 2020 when people were upset to find Red drives that were SMR they started recommending to switch to Red Pro or Gold if you know you wanted a PMR disk.

You may use R-Studio to determine whether the device supports TRIM: S.M.A.R.T. -> Features. IDE/SATA/USB.Data-Medics wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 1:03 pm
