ST2000LM007 after QUICK FORMAT

I have a case of ST2000LM007 after fast format.

Scanning the R-Studio program - I extracted the entire directory and file structure ... I started the recovery ... What was my surprise when each of the recovered files is damaged and when viewing it through hex it has all zeros.

I took a sector image on UDMA 133 by pc3k ... Same effect after scanning partition structures - file and directory structure is. And each file is corrupted. While reading the marked files through the utility with the speed of 6.4KB / s, it is strange that the data recovered is EFFICIENT and opens.

What is the cause of this condition? How to speed up the reading of ST2000LM007 through the utility because now reading one 10MB JPG takes up to 35 minutes ...

It is possible to speed up nowadays using pc3k to read data through the utility?

We helped recover data from this drive.
We have submitted the solution to this case to Acelab for verification.

The client was right, he did a quick format.
The drive was zero-filled except for the MFT.
Data was available through the utility but with a very slow read.
After the rebuild translator, access to the data was restored in the normal mode.

If the solution is approved by Acelab, it will most likely be made public.
In someone who have similar issue and If for some reason Acelab deems the procedure dangerous or cannot be repeated, please contact me to verify yours case.

I am having a similar case. Really looking for a solution.

I mean there is a solution. Just not really public
