Sorry to hear that and hope the data can be recovered! I have seen several successful examples of data recovered from a trashed HD.

I likely over do it but with my iMac I back up (auto several times a day) to an external drive via the Mac's time machine and I swap the drives every two weeks keeping one in the bank. And for my music files I also back up to iCloud.

Why? I have photos and other files that date back 25 years and I like ready access to everything smile

Best to you with the recovery!!!! I mentioned this to a friend who’s the owner/CEO of a computer consulting firm and he says you have a good chance for recovery. He mentioned the same company Jim linked to.
