How long does it take to recover 1 TB of data?

"Tools data recovery is taking a long time/stuck"

If the Deep Scan takes a very long time to complete, or if it gets stuck during the scanning process, this might indicate that your disk is very large and the software needs more time to scan through the entire disk, or there could be some issues with your hard drive. Learn More >

When you need to recover a large amount of data, such as 1 TB, you might wonder how long the process will take. Unfortunately, there's no straightforward answer to this question, as each situation is different. Here are some factors that influence the overall time it takes to recover your data:

1 - Hardware condition

If your hard drive is functioning perfectly, the recovery process will be faster than from one that is severely damaged and needs repair. So, issues like accidental deletion, formatting, virus attacks, etc., become simpler.

Moreover, the state of the source disk also plays a role. Physically or logically, the larger the hard drive, the more time the recovery process may take. Scanning larger devices takes more time to correctly retrieve data.

2 - Operating Systems and Computer Environments

Operating conditions can also play a role in how long the recovery takes. In general, running a computer under high temperatures or in an environment with a lot of vibration can increase the likelihood of hard drive failure. If the hard drive fails while the laptop/computer it's in is operating under poor conditions, the electronic and physical damage could be more severe, thus lengthening the data recovery process.

3 - Types and Sizes of Data

The physical or logical size of the data can also impact how long the recovery process might take. Larger files are often more fragmented and not stored in a single location, which can slow down the data retrieval process as engineers have to read through the damaged drive to piece together as much information as possible. Some file types can also be more difficult to recover due to issues like file corruption. If the lost data involves such files, it could take longer to restore them.

4 - Type of service for the order

This will save a lot of time if you just want to quickly scan the data. However, if you order a deep scan, the recovery process might take longer. Usually, a quick scan can help you recover deleted files, like Word documents, photos, videos, music, and so on. If you have a drive that needs recovery, it's recommended to run a quick scan.

Step 1: Select the drive and start scanning

Launch the Disk Drill data recovery wizard and hover the cursor over the partition where you lost your data. This can be an internal hard drive, an external disk, USB, or SD card. Then, click “Scan.”

Select the location to scan

Step 2: Preview and select the scanned files

Use the file type filter on the left or in the top-right corner to narrow down the scan results until you find the file you need. If you wish, click the "Preview" button or double-click the file to preview its content.

Select the files to recover

Step 3: Recover the lost data to a secure location

Check the box next to the lost files and click “Recover” to restore the lost data to a secure location. We recommend that you do not save the recovered data on the same disk from which the data was lost.
