Very Very slow recovery's

[mathias1xxX]

Hi, i was doing a recovery on my Laptop

Ryzen 9 5900x (16 Core, 32 Threads)
32GB Ram

but i stopped this recovery and continued on a desktop i still had.

Intel I5-2400 (4 Cores, 4 Threads)
16GB Ram


now the recovery went from 18 More days to 3 months But when i look at the task manager it almost does not use any Ram or CPU. So. Why is this :O

The size of the disk being recovered? The number of files to recover? How the disk is connected to the computer.

It's a 2TB Drive, and i know this can take a long time. But the same drive went from 18 days to 3 months on a different system (both connected in the same way using the same version of R-Studio) so does R-Studio use more cores or more Ram or what affects the speed?

The most important things are disk reading speed and how the file system is corrupted.

So why is the same drive with the same docking on a same speed usb port suddenly so much slower on a less powerfull system?

My guess is that one system has a USB 2 connection, and the other one USB 3.

It may simply be the condition of the drive itself.

What happened to the data in the first place?

I thought this was a problem that only happened to me. Is the cause due to the drive size not being large enough?

So far I don't have problem with recovery speed.

For experiment sake, I have 14TB Western Digital USB3.0, externally connected to my desktop i5 12th gen, 64GB Ram (Win 10 Pro).
As a target disk, I use my external 5TB Seagate USB3.0 (it's external 3.5" HDD) but I took the hdd out and put it into my desktop using sata connector
for speed and mobility sake.

It shown on the screen that the remaining time is about 7 to 8 hrs -- to restore 2TB file(s).

To scan a disk is another story. Scanning a full disk (same ext. drive 14TB WD), using my laptop Lenovo Flex Win10 Home, i7 8550U(intel 8th gen),
16GB Ram, USB3.0 gen1, took me about 1 to 2 days -- to my best of knowledge, I can't remember the exact amount of time.

I'm using old version of R-Studio 9.0.190296.

I will see if I could do another scanning using the latest version of R-Studio. Even using the same version does not guarantee you to get the same result. As long as you get the files you are looking for then you're good. That's what matter the most, for me at least.
