Key features
Suitable for different computer environments
With Recovery Explorer RAID, it is possible to get the missing data back from personal computers, external hard disks, memory cards, thumb drives, RAID sets and other storages with various file systems of Windows (FAT/FAT32/exFAT and NTFS), macOS (HFS+, APFS) and Linux (Ext2/Ext3/Ext4, ReiserFS, XFS, JFS, IBM JFS2, UFS/UFS2). Moreover, the software provides direct access to the undamaged content of volumes, helping to solve the problem of incompatibility between the storage format and the OS.
Support of various RAID setups
The program can handle a wide range of RAID configurations, among which are standard levels (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E, RAID 3, RAID 5, RAID 6, etc.), combined patterns (RAID 10, RAID 50, RAID 60, RAID 50E, etc.), specific technologies (Btrfs-RAID, Synology SHR) and custom RAID layouts. The software detects RAID metadata on the drives and is capable of interpreting it for the automatic assembly of an intact array.
Work with diverse storage technologies
The application supports many technologies that can be employed by modern storages, like Windows Dynamic Disks and Storage Spaces, Apple Software RAID and APFS-based Fusion Drive, Linux mdadm and LVM, virtual disks created by popular virtualization systems, including VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, QEMU, XEN and others, along with different formats of disk images.
Configurable scanning procedure
Recovery Explorer RAID offers multiple scanning options, including a quick scan for specified file system types, a longer in-depth search for lost data by known content with an option to load custom IntelliRAW rules, scanning of the space occupied by a particular file system or just the “free space” regions. It is possible to pause the operation at any moment, check the intermediate results or save them for later references.
Helpful additional features
The utility is complemented with various useful tools and options, for instance, an embedded viewer for files of most common formats, an advanced search function with several criteria, the possibility to filter the found items by the date, size or name, a basic instrument for creating disk images and a monitor for the S.M.A.R.T status of the connected drives.
Easy-to-use interface
Recovery Explorer RAID is a combination of professional data recovery techniques and a user-friendly interface which makes the software accessible for users without specialized technical skills. The optional simplified mode (Wizard-based mode) offers guidance through the whole procedure by showing useful tips and prompts, providing the possibility to recover data in several elementary steps.
