I've tried 3 different data recovery programs to retrieve data from a formatted HDD. They claim they're free until after the 10+ hours of scanning, then want 50+ bucks to recover anything over a few kb...
I'm currently trying recuva and also downloading paragon rescue kit in case recuva is another 'free until we find your data' program.
EaseUS took over 16 hours because it found OLD deleted files as well, it found over 18tb of data on 1.5 tb drive... filescavenger managed to only find what I acually needed by having an option to not scan for deleted files.
So if anyone knows of a FREE data recovery program that can not scan for deleted files, and possibly even recover an entire partition instead of just finding the files, please let me know.
