I just lost 44 GB of data that I downloaded in the past two hours. My PC started to get laggy and it got stuck so I just shut it down believing that all will be well since the data has already been written to disk…

Do you have a RAID array of some sort? As other pointed out it’s odd for so much data to be lost with just a hard reboot.
I have no clue what a RAID is to be honest. I was using a VM with 6 GB RAM to do some work in another operating system and passed through my physical hard drive (Host to Guest) to write the data on when suddenly my VM got stuck.
Almost all of the data is certainly *somewhere *on the hard drive. It sounds like it was a write to the file system records that lost the record of where they are.
