How does it compare to HxD? https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
By the sound of what happened it's possible that all files residing in the last 1TB got TRIMMed (https://www.300dollardatarecovery.com/trim/) by first aid. Can you check the corrupted videos with a hex editor (for example https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/) to see if they contain any information at all? If they got trimmed there will be large swathes of either 0xff or 0x00. Source: 6 months ago
You don't need to know anything about Hex-Editing to use this. You are only required to know how to copy-paste. That being said, you will need a Hex-Editor program and to know your save-file's location. I personally use HxD: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/. Source: 12 months ago
Also, notepad is only good for editing text, not binary files. You should use a hex editor. I personally use HxD. I also found this online hex editor called HexEd.it. Source: 12 months ago

Checksums are better long term. However a nice GUI program: Beyond Compare from Scooter Software is a native Windows app that will compare entire subdirectories or even entire disks and will show a GUI of changes / mods / missing / extra files. It costs money but it's worth it -- both Windows AND Linux versions. Free 30 day trial. Source: almost 2 years ago
Ugh, ok, I feel pretty stupid but, I was messing around with Beyond Compare (a nice piece of software that I highly recommend, btw) comparing my internal drive with an incomplete backup thereof, trying to delete duplicates. My best guess (and I'm still not sure but taking an educated guess) at what happened is, while I was deleting, I accidentally selected *both* the left and right sides, instead of just the...

I love Beyond Compare 4. I use it often for folder and file diffs. I like that I can have different projects for each codebase. The coloration and UI is nice too. Source: over 2 years ago
