Glad to hear that :).So fantastic. All data recovered.
It could be due to the bad sectors. If portion of any file is stored on the defective area, not only Testdisk but any data recovery software will have trouble reading them. So i assume not only the USB-SATA bridge is faulty, but also the disk has read errors as reported by "HD Sentinel".At first I thought the Testdisk had got stuck because it would pull off a whole load of files and then kind of stop. The recovered file size would slowly, slowly increase. I kept restarted Testdisk and moved onto the following files.
In the future, make sure to keep a backup copy of all your important data on a second hard drive or some cloud storage.
