So I accidentally deleted a file today. It was an mp3, and I somehow managed to NOT have a backup anywhere of this particular file, in spite of doing a backup to my server AND external, and sync to my iPod since I've had it, and it's not on any of those... it is no longer existing on the internet anywhere I can find either, I looked for many hours. Doing things like this are really uncommon for me, and first time I didn't mean to delete something since using this ssd. So immediately I grabbed recuva, and gave it a scan, no results. I mean 0 result, not 1 deleted file at all. So I guess delete=secure delete? Just to be sure I tried a couple other recovery utility that is decent - pc inspector, and getdataback ntfs, and same deal... 0 files found. Before you ask, music is on my secondary ssd, not my primary drive. I know not to go installing nor writing nothing if you want to try and recover it. Any other suggestions, or it's really gone forever?
It was an unreleased? remix of Sneaky Sound System When We Were Young by Styalz Fuego. Not on their soundcloud, label link is dead, the styalz Fugo site is offline, not on youtube, every link I found for it is dead... I am amazed when things vanish completely like that. I still can't figure out how I had no backup. I've had it for YEARS and there is newish songs on my external which I am not that good about keeping in sync, and I REALLY don't know how it isn't on my server either, since that is done on scheduled one way sync... really strange.
Could be unrelated, but since megaupload hit the fan I've noticed tons of stuff online has vanished and 99% of links are dead. People are genuinely scared to host files online IMO.
I think they just neglected it since it is pretty old, from 2007/2008. 90% of the links I think went to their label blog filehost so it's legit, just broken. Anyway that does not help about getting stuff back from an SSD with aggressive secure delete / garbage collection or whatever. I am surprised this isn't more of a problem if ssd is like that. Accidents happen with files... and poof a bunch of stuff could get deleted by mistake and nothing to do about it. At least I suppose I know those routines are working on the ssd for sure now...
