I also got the RAW format hard drive last week.
Therefore, in order to regain my important family photos from this drive, I searched a lot on the internet. Fortunately, I found a popular recovery freeware that was recommended in many forums. I was really lucky to save both of my photos and this hard drives at the aid of it.
Therefore, I came here to share my experiences and hope that this could help more people out from the similar problems.
Tip
1. Never put anything new on this drive until all needed data has been retrieved.
2. Never store the recovered data on the original drive in case of recovery failure.
3. Never forget to format this drive to return its normal use.
4. Never forget to back up the important data regularly in the future.
