Data recovery software

Hello. Anyone know of any data recovery software that is completely free to use and has no limitations?

I have a RAW disk that I would like to get some data out of but a 2GB export won't be enough.

Try recuva, or testdisk if a partition was just deleted.

Bumping this thread. I tried Recuva and testdisk but they did not find any partitions after scanning the whole shabang.

You never even said what the drive came from and what filesystem it's supposed to use, so hard to make any recommendations.

Came from a portable HDD. Listed in device manager as a Seagate BUP Slim BK SCSI Disk Device. Should be NTFS.

OK then it's likely encrypted, i.e. you need the usb-SATA interface that was in the portable HDD to get anything out of it.
