I have a Seagate 2 TB drive that has recently gone bad. It does not click and can be accessed with data recovery tools like Disk Drill and Get Back Data. With Disk Drill it seems to be able to identify data but it's very slow. I started on Sunday and it's Wednesday and I'm only up to 70 GB read.
Would it be better to format the drive (Windows doesn't recognize it and wants to format the bad drive) and then try to recover the data or should I stay on my present course and let Disk Drill find what it can?
I have run Get Back Data for years with a lot of success but never this much data. I'm hoping that when Disk Drill is done I can run GBD and recover more.
Any advice is appreciated.
