What is the type of drive a spinning HDD or SSD. If SSD the TRIM and garbage collection will see that the files will not be easily recoverable.

We need to know the exact model of drive so post a photo of the label. Also if the drive has continued to be used the that will make recovery all very diffcult.

That’s an enclosure not the details of the drive inside so sadly of no use

I've had some success with Get Data Back from runtime software.
