Hands are shaking. On the verge of freaking out. Not sure if you guys can help and if anyone has had similar happen. I'm going to explain all that happened.
So I had all my stuff stored on two 4 TB hard drives. I decided it was time to buy new drives and retire the old ones.
Go on newegg and buy 2 ironwolf 10 TB hard drives for like $600 (was a buy 2 deal).
I install he drives in my PC and try to format. It says it failed. I try a few more times and it suddenly works after days of it sitting there formatting the slow way.
I decide to not fuck around and make them Mirrored form Disk Manager.
Move ALL MY FUCKING DATA from the 4TB drives onto the drive.
I format one of the 4 TB drives after comparing all the files.
Suddenly Windows locks up. I wasn't moving any files during that time.
As I start up Windows the next time. The mirrored drive isn't visible. I go into Disk Manager and it says syncing.
It goes from 3% to 100% in 3 days.
It's been 3 days... Now I go to the drive and the mirror is completely inaccessible.
Never use Windows Disk manager. one time I tried to format a sd card from command line, shit crashed, but not really, the motherfuckers kept formating after cold reboot and after I removed the SD. Nothing can stop it from accomplishing his task, nothing except himself.

The (G) drive is a mirrored 10 TB hard drive. All my stuff is on there. Holy fuck, my whole body is turning cold. I'm literally freaking out.
> mirrored 10 TB > Windows > Seagate ironwolf > ReFS It's like a bingo, holy shit. OK OP, so the Microsoft position about ReFS, shortly after its introduction, was: "there are no recovery tools for ReFS because it never breaks". As far as I know, there are still no built-it tools, so you have to rely on some third-party tools. Personally, I'd dd them before attempting anything, but they're too big for that.

Run CKDSK on the G drive
Try some disk recovery software somewhere (I think EaseUs has a free trial) if you still can't get the data. If you can get it with the disk recovery, move it back into the original hard drives and reformat the new ones
