Yeah - Recuva crashed when the deep scan was concluded so... that's that. :/

Well, all I can do is give it my best shot - the drive hasn't been used since reformatting. Neither has the WD. 80% in with a few hours to go...

Thanks nukecad, I appreciate your help. Both external 10TB drives I have here were working perfectly until I installed a PCIE NVME+RGB add-on card a few days ago. I'd not fired up Emby until just yesterday and only noticed problems with the drives at that point - one drive (WD Elements) was outright invisible to Windows 10, the other (Seagate Barracuda) was recognised in Disk Management but needed to be initialised/reformatted. I did notice on the WD drive that the tape used to cover over the first three pins had worked its way loose (common WD hack). So perhaps it was that? I am considering perhaps investing in a replacement 10TB drive, but it's a heck of an outlay $£. However, one thing that may have happened is that I could have inadvertently put the same disk label on the PCIE NVME 256GB drive as was already in use on the WD drive, maybe that caused a conflict when I fired up the external 10TBs? Anyway, thanks again for your help!

Hi, I just had to reformat a failed 10TB hard drive with about 7TB of video files on it. I recently bought some smaller SSDs in order to switch over completely to solid state storage and I'm wondering if I will have the option to restore - (a quarter of my recovered files at a time) - on to each of the 4 SSDs I have? Or will I only have the option to save ONE TIME ONLY at the end of the scan, before needing to run another deep level scan? (I don't have a spare 10TB drive to use for a disk image.) Thanks.
