RAID Reconstructor
RAID Reconstructor is Windows software for analyzing and rebuilding broken RAID-0 and RAID-5 arrays so their data can be recovered.
What RAID Reconstructor is
RAID Reconstructor is Windows software for analyzing and rebuilding broken RAID-0 and RAID-5 arrays so their data can be recovered. It accepts physical drives or drive image files and can determine unknown settings such as start sector, drive order, block size, and rotation direction. RAID-0 arrays with 2–16 drives require every drive, while RAID-5 arrays with 3–16 drives can be processed with one drive missing. Hardware and software RAID are supported, including broken Windows Dynamic Disk sets. The program reads sectors from source drives and writes them in sequence to a destination rather than repairing the original array. Results can be saved as a virtual image, image file, or physical drive copy. Tools include drive imaging, entropy checks, MFT and file-system reports, XOR tests, and a RAID calculator. Reports can identify NTFS, EXT, and XFS structures. Created images can be mounted with Captain Nemo or processed with GetDataBack Pro. Bootable recovery is available.
Good
- Supports RAID-0 and RAID-5 recovery
- Can identify unknown RAID parameters
- Works with physical drives and image files
- Offers bootable recovery
- Includes imaging and file-system analysis tools
Watch out
- Windows only
- No free plan
- RAID-0 requires all drives
- No file preview
Who it suits
It suits Windows users recovering supported RAID-0 or RAID-5 arrays from drives or image files. A controller card that exposes all RAID drives individually is required.
Verdict
RAID Reconstructor focuses on read-only reconstruction of RAID-0 and RAID-5 data, with broad analysis tools and image outputs. Pricing starts at 99 one-time, and licensed users receive free lifetime updates.
