  • Even on a standard HDD, there's no way your getting all 20GB back. That's an assumption being made regardless of knowing how much has been added/removed from the drive since data loss. The metadata is absolutely lost which means sifting through the potentially recovered data is going to be a daunting task. The best suggestions I can make are Recuva and Active@ but Active@ isn't free and both will take several hours (over night) just to scan for files, not to recover them. Again, that's on a standard HDD, I don't even know if the best file recovery programs I know of offer SSD support.
