Found this thread and used R-linux to recover some of my files, everything is renamed to numbers, there’s no folder structure, it took 16 plus hours just to scan the drive and a couple more just to recover the selected files. Problem was i actually trusted this device and added some files to it while out in the world that i had nowhere else.
Meanwhile i was contacted by WD support, and they requested the system log, they also told me they would provide a data recovery service. I can’t complain about the support, but i was provided with no imediate solution.
