I waited for one night and in the morning EaseUS has recovered the whole disk, 1420000 files... somehow listing them as about 4 TB total. I'm downloading all the files I need, some are corrupt, other are just fine, got what I wanted. Thank all of you who came up with advice!

HDD Sentinel estimated it's remaining lifetime at 11 days, if it's to be trusted and it has about 250 days of usage... which I think is a bit too early failure but it may have to do with the laptop falling from over 1 meter on hard surface, but it started actively dying long time after this.

Of course I've got another healthy 1 TB drive where I will clone this one...obviously

I only care about the speed because it's absurdly slow and it managed to crash Windows Explorer and the previuos times when it was working with somewhat normal speed, the program scanned the entire drive for maybe couple hours, now it takes vast amounts of time for little progress. Ok I won't...

Well, as I'm running Ease US now, some of the recovered files are actually previewable and able to recover, I will try to see if it manages to recover everything possible, otherwise I would do the cloning.

Well. I was wondering, if I apply chkdsk or some other option to disconnect the bad sectors, would that improve the disk's speed?

Kind of, but does it clone the deleted files as well? Because what I want to recover is all deleted but they are still there and recoverable. I gave the Ease US method another chance: now it's been running for like an hour and has listed over 83000 files yet standing at 0% complete. I will keep...

Sounds crazy and I may resort to it in case nothing else works.

Of course I'm not going to use it, I simply need it one last time to recover the files on it.
