I recently downloaded the latest version of recuva. I ran it on an external 2tb sata drive that is usb3. It scans for 24 or so hours and then pulls up the list. I can preview files without issue. However when I go to recover x amount of files ( not everything at once, just 5,000 or so files at once) it starts working but then the program completely freezes. I am unable to close it or do anything and the hard drive stops responding through recova. I can access the hard drive and it does not have issues. I have to close it down through task manager which in turn closes it and then I have lost 24 hours of time in getting files recovered. I find this unacceptable and believe that recuva should have a way to save the log of what is found like other programs do which would make rescanning unnecessary . I am currently at work and need to know what would be needed from me to submit to find a solution. There are close to 2 million files found. I am a photographer and deleted this drives contents due to having moved everything to a larger drive that physically died. I might also note that I have used recuva on a 750gb and 320gb drive without issue. It seems that recuva does not play nice with very large drives.
Specs of my system: Intel socket 1150 3.0ghz dual core
16gb of ram
250gb Samsung ssd as main drive
750gb regular sata drive
3tb regular drive
2tb external drive (the one being scanned)
