Spec score 6.9 #22 of 27 in RAID Data Recovery Software

What it is

RAID-0-Recovery is a free Linux collection of planned Bash scripts for reconstructing a RAID 0 striped volume from mostly complete images of its individual disks. The intended result is one non-RAID disk image assembled from those component images. Planned tools include input validation, random-stripe generation to help verify stripe size, and analysis of files affected by unreadable sectors. Another planned script would merge ddrescue logfiles from individual disks into a logfile for the reconstructed volume, suitable for the ddrutility commands ddru_findbad and ddru_ntfsfindbad. The project is described as complementary to GNU ddrescue, ddrescueview, and ddrutility. It supports RAID 0 only and is licensed as free/libre software under GPLv3+. The README states that a completely unreadable component disk prevents recovery and warns that these tools do not replace redundancy or backups. The project status is important: its scripts and capabilities are described as planned.

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Free/libre software under GPLv3+
  • Targets RAID 0 disk-image reconstruction
  • Plans stripe-size verification support
  • Plans ddrescue logfile combination
  • Designed to complement GNU ddrescue tools

Limits

  • Scripts and capabilities are still planned
  • Cannot recover a completely unreadable component disk
  • Supports RAID 0 only
  • Does not replace redundancy or backups

Who it suits

It suits Linux users working with mostly complete RAID 0 disk images and related ddrescue workflows. It is for recovery planning rather than a documented finished toolset.

Verdict

RAID-0-Recovery outlines a focused set of recovery scripts around RAID 0 images and ddrescue logs. Readers should treat it as planned project work, with major limits for unreadable disks and no substitute for backups.
