RAID Reconstructor is a software that can recover data from damaged RAID Level 5 or RAID Level 0 Arrays, without requiring knowledge of RAID parameters. It analyzes drives for correct values, and allows restoration of lost data.
You don't need to know any RAID parameters such as drive order, block size, or direction of rotation, as RAID Reconstructor will analyze the available drives and determine the correct values. You can easily create a copy of the reconstructed RAID in a virtual image, an image file, or on a physical drive.
Once you create an image, you can use it for further data recovery processing with Runtime's GetDataBack. You can even process the image on another physical drive or directly boot from it. RAID Reconstructor is read-only, so it will not try to "fix" your RAID. Instead, it will create a copy of your RAID at another location.
This program collects sector by sector from each single drive involved and writes these sectors in the correct order to the designated destination. This process is also known as "de-striping". You only need one less than the original number of drives (N) in the array for RAID 5 because one drive is redundant in RAID 5. RAID Reconstructor can recalculate the original data from the N-1 drives. For a RAID-0 (striped) array, you will need both drives.
RAID Reconstructor can recover both hardware and software RAIDs. Additionally, it can recover from broken Windows Dynamic Disk sets. You can run RAID Reconstructor from the Runtime Live CD or a WinPE boot CD-ROM. If you want a reliable software that can handle various RAID recovery scenarios, choose RAID Reconstructor.
