Hetman RAID Recovery
hetmanrecovery.com
What it is
Hetman RAID Recovery reconstructs inaccessible RAID arrays and storage devices so files can be recovered after failures, formatting, or metadata corruption. It works with hardware and software RAID, NAS and DAS devices, and server storage. The software can identify array details such as disk order, stripe size, offsets, and parity layout; a manual RAID Constructor is available when metadata is incomplete or damaged. Supported configurations include JBOD and RAID 0, 1, 1E, 4, 5, 5E, 5EE, 6, 10, 01, 50, 51, 60, and 61. It also supports structures including Linux MD RAID, LVM, Windows Storage Spaces, ZFS, Btrfs, AppleRAID, CoreStorage, and APFS multi-disk containers. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and can examine physical disks, disk images, virtual disks, and supported remote block devices over SSH. Recovery is reconstructed virtually without changing source disks. The trial can scan, browse, and preview detected files, but saving recovered data requires a license. Licenses are perpetual, with limits that vary by plan.
