Hetman RAID Recovery is a robust solution engineered to restore data from non-operational RAID systems or individual disks within such arrays. It addresses critical data loss scenarios stemming from RAID storage system crashes, controller errors, motherboard issues, multiple disk failures, or frozen RAID rebuilding processes. The software intelligently reads all necessary configuration information from the controller, motherboard, or software used to create the disk array. It can effectively rebuild crashed RAID arrays, enabling users to copy all critical information from them. The product features an integrated constructor wizard that guides users through the recovery process step-by-step. Users can utilize one of the built-in presets or manually define the required data in the damaged array, and RAID Recovery™ will reassemble the disks to provide access to the data. The tool supports recovery from various hardware and software RAID types, including JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 10, 1E, 5, 50, 5E, 5EE, 6, 60, 2, 3, 4, SHR, and RAID-z. It also handles data loss due to hard disk failures, accidental array rebuilding, controller or motherboard bugs, system crashes (especially for software RAIDs), virus attacks, bad sectors, and issues arising from storage system upgrades or incorrect disk handling. The software is designed for users of all skill levels, from novices to professionals, to effectively restore complex RAID configurations and recover lost data.

Features & Benefits

• RAID Constructor Wizard
  • Guides users step-by-step through the recovery process, offering presets or allowing manual definition of damaged array data to reassemble disks and provide data access.
• Automatic RAID Configuration Restoration
  • Automatically detects and rebuilds RAID configurations by collecting service information from connected disks, displaying identified arrays immediately upon program start, and suggesting analysis and data saving.
• Flexible Recovery Modes
  • Provides an Automatic Mode that searches for all possible disk combinations and file system structures, even without prior knowledge of block size or RAID type. It also includes Presets for Popular System Types, leveraging manufacturer data to accelerate configuration detection. For professionals, a Manual Mode allows precise specification of RAID type, disk order, parity group offset, parity delay, and block size.
• Extensive RAID Level Support
  • Supports a comprehensive range of hardware and software RAID types, including JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 1E, RAID 5, RAID 50, RAID 5E, RAID 5EE, RAID 6, RAID 60, RAID 2, RAID 3, RAID 4, SHR, SHR-2 (Synology Hybrid RAID), RAID-z, RAID-z2, and RAID-z3.
• Broad Device and Controller Compatibility
  • Compatible with networked storage devices from manufacturers like D-Link, Synology, Qnap, Linksys, Promise, ZyXel, NETGEAR, Buffalo, LaCie, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Seagate. It also supports RAID controllers from Adaptec, Areca, Dell, HP, LSI, Intel, and motherboards with RAID support from ASRock, MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, and Supermicro.
• Disk Image Creation & Handling
  • Enables the creation of disk images for any storage device, media, or logical partition, allowing safe recovery from failing disks. It supports its own *.dsk format and common image file types such as *.hdd, *.vdi, *.vhd, *.vhdx, and *.vmdk.
• Comprehensive Data Recovery Capabilities
  • Recovers accidentally deleted files from disk arrays and data lost after emptying Recycle/Trash Bins across Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Solaris. It can find deleted files even when the file system structure is severely damaged, rebuilding structures or recovering content via signature search. The utility also supports recovering incomplete RAID sets by uniting intact data and calculating missing parts from parity blocks.
• Wide File System Support
  • Supports various file systems including FAT/ExFAT, NTFS, ReFS, APFS, HFS+, Ext/ReiserFS/XFS, and UFS/ZFS, ensuring broad compatibility for data recovery.
• Multi-Platform Compatibility
  • Designed for use on Windows (XP to 11, Server 2003-2022), macOS (OS X 10.7 Lion to macOS 15 Sequoia), and various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint, openSUSE, Arch Linux).
