[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1422171, member: 45350"] On SD cards I have pulled files off from more than a year before, with multiple shoots in between. On HD I have been able to extract a fair number of files off a drive that was reformatted and then used for several months. Without reformatting easily a year or so and some files will still be recoverable. Again, you won't get 100% . . . may only be able to pull back 5 to 10% depending on time and usage. But, if those are all the copies you have of irreplaceable pics, some is better than none. EDIT: This is one reason I always do a 7 pass secure erase when selling or passing on a computer (or take a hammer to the hard drives). [/QUOTE]
