Product Highlights

Recover data from a broken RAID Array

Recovers both hardware and software RAID

Automatically finds RAID parameters

Destriper and Analyzer

Safe, read-only design

Run from the Runtime Live CD or a WinPE boot CD-ROM

Runtime's RAID Reconstructor will help you recover data from broken:

RAID Level 5 Array consisting of 3 to 14 drives

RAID Level 0 Array (Striping) consisting of 2 to 14 drives

Even if you do not know the RAID parameters, such as start sector, drive order, block size and direction of rotation, RAID Reconstructor will analyze your drives and determine the correct values. You will then be able to create a copy of the reconstructed RAID in a virtual image (.vim), an image file (.img) or on a physical drive.

Unlike other products that require you to know the RAID parameters, RAID Reconstructor is not only a "destriper" but an "analyzer" as well. It finds the unknown parameters for you.

Once you created an image you can either mount it with Captain Nemo or use it for further data recovery processing with Runtime's GetDataBack. If you create the image on another physical drive, you can process it with Captain Nemo or GetDataBack too or you might even be able to directly boot from it.

NEW: If you want to recover a broken NAS RAID, you might be interested in our new all-in-one NAS Data Recovery software.

NEW: If you want to recover a broken Windows RAID, you might be interested in our new all-in-one RAID Recovery for Windows software.

RAID Reconstructor is safe and read-only.

It will not try to "fix" your RAID. It will merely create a copy of your RAID at another location. It will collect sector by sector from each single drive involved and write these sectors in the correct order to the designated destination. This process is also called "de-striping".

Because one drive is redundant in RAID 5, it is sufficient to have one less than the original number of drives (N) in the array. RAID Reconstructor can recalculate the original data from the N-1 drives. For a RAID-0 (striped) array you will need all drives.

The RAID Reconstructor will recover both, hardware and software RAIDs. It will recover from broken Windows Dynamic Disk sets.

Analysis Toolbox

RAID Reconstructor contains many tools you will appreciate once you need to recover data.

Create images of individual drives.

Entropy report. See where the most dense data is.

MFT report. Investigate disk areas around the MFT

File system report. Find file system structures for NTFS, EXT, XFS

XOR test. See if your set is xor-ed.

Create an XOR.VIM from the existing drives in order to investigate a missing drive.

RAID calculator. Convert a global sector number to a local drive and sector number, and back. Show mapping charts about the relation between the global RAID space and the individual RAID member drives. Supports RAID-0, RAID-5, RAID-6, delayed RAID-5 (HP-SmartArray).

Scripting. Based on the PASCAL programming language, scripts allow you to access your drives and process them with all the elements available in a higher programming language.

RaidProbe - Let us find the correct RAID parameters for you!

A RaidProbe can be taken if you do not find your RAID's correct parameters. Take advantage
