Anyone work in data forensics?

Age old story, mate, not backup etc. lost family pictures from a single USB disk yadda yadda *facepalm*

Effectively drop box has been syncing down and overwriting files, he's out of lucky from paying for professional recovery and I suspect the data has gone either way.

I've offered to at least take a bit for bit forensic copy of the drive and have a poke around on the copy?

Anyone done this recently either as an amateur or pro?

Thanks both, it's a 1tb, unknown amount of data to recover ATM, overwritten a couple of days ago but not used since

Sorry missed the main question, it's a trad hdd

Solid state is generally well beyond amateur data recovery.

Out of interest and complete ignorance I assume it's down to the manner in which space is reused on ssds?

Keep the suggestions coming, all possibilities.
