By mistake, I erased a flash drive with a day's worth of Canon Raw files. I tried to restore it with another program and after 45 minutes a complete failure. With PhotoRec I had a complete recovery of all files in about 20 minutes! Note: it is best to get the complete package from the developer's site as this download link is missing some DLLs. The only con is that it is activated from the command line with some cryptic instructions but as long as you select the drive and specify where to put the recovered files it just works. After the fact, I noticed there is also a user interface executable provided.
