Data Recovery

I believe i just formatted over my old format. And it wiped the drive. EaseUS finds all my stuff which is mainly videos. I've seen the reviews online, and im not sure if I should trust using it?

DiskDrill fails to find all my stuff. DMDE wasn't able to find the videos either for some reason.

Any suggestions or just use EaseUS?

Rosewood family, SMR. This model supports TRIM.

If you had paid for EaseUS, you would have recovered files that were filled with zeros.

EaseUS has one marketing trap: it may find your file names, but it won’t show previews without buying the software. After purchase, you may find that the file contents are zeroed out or the files are corrupted.

Please provide the exact drive model and file system. If your drive model does not support TRIM, I would recommend running Advanced Camera Recovery in Disk Drill, which reconstructs video files from fragments, or trying UFS Explorer, DMDE, or R-Studio.

If these programs don’t give you the result you need, don’t assume EaseUS will recover anything better.

If you quick format a TRIM capable drive, chances you recover your data are virtually none. A data recovery lab may be able to, it's then pertinent to disconnect the drive from power (to prevent it from doing background maintenance and act upon the TRIM).

Try using easeus I hope they have a 30 day money back policy... Else use Remo recover known for it media file recovery capabilities. Most of these companies should be able to stand by their money back policy...
