UFS Explorer RAID Recovery VS PhotoRec

UFS Explorer RAID Recovery is a multifunctional top-level software developed primarily for recovery of information lost and deleted from standard, nested, custom and vendor-specific RAID configurations and RAID-based storage systems like NAS and DAS. Nevertheless, it can bring equally efficient results in restoring photos, documents, audio, video and other types of files from such widely used data storage media as internal and portable SSD and HDD, USB memory drives and memory cards.

The program supports various file systems of Windows (NTFS, FAT, FAT32, exFAT), macOS (HFS+, APFS) and Linux (Ext2-Ext4, XFS, Extended format XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, UFS, UFS2, Adaptec UFS, big-endian UFS, Sun ZFS, Btrfs) operating systems, as well as simple and stripe ZFS volumes of BSD/Solaris.

UFS Explorer RAID Recovery automatically detects and assembles arrays in a virtual mode using metadata on their drives and also gives the possibility to assemble them manually using the embedded RAID builder tool. The supported RAID types are the following:

standard (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E, RAID 3, RAID 5, RAID 6, etc.); nested (RAID level 10, 50, 60, 50E, etc.); custom layouts created with RDL or Runtime VIM; Drobo BeyondRAID, Synology Hybrid RAID, Btrfs-RAID and RAID-Z; RAID configurations used in popular NAS devices produced by Drobo, Buffalo Technology (TeraStation, LinkStation), Synology, QNAP Systems, etc.

Additionally, UFS Explorer RAID Recovery works with storage technologies like Apple Fusion Drive, Windows Dynamic Disks and Storage Spaces, Linux LVM and mdadm, as well as virtual disks (VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, QEMU and XEN) and disk images of various formats.

Moreover, it embeds a disk imaging tool and a couple of extra instruments, including a file previewer (for documents, images and PDF files), a hexadecimal viewer, two file search options (quick and advanced), etc.
