UFS Explorer RAID Recovery VS Recovery Explorer Professional

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.

Recovery Explorer Professional is a software solution suitable for such exigent users as technicians and data recovery professionals. With its help, they can cope with a wide variety of complicated data loss scenarios, for instance, those related to corrupted drives, custom RAID layouts, rare formats, etc.

The program can be used to restore photos, videos, music, PDF, text and other types of files from external and internal hard disks and solid state drives, SD and other memory cards, USB thumb drives, RAID arrays and RAID-based systems, various composite volumes, as well as from virtual disks and disk images of different formats.

The list of supported file systems is very long and includes those of Windows (NTFS, FAT/FAT32, exFAT, ReFS/ReFS3), macOS (HFS+, APFS), Linux (UFS2, big-endian UFS, Adaptec UFS, ReiserFS, JFS, XFS, Btrfs, F2FS), BSD/Solaris (ZFS) and VMware ESX(i) (VMFS, VMFS6).

In addition, the software recognizes and allows accessing and recovering lost and deleted data from:

RAID arrays: standard, nested and hybrid ones, as well as proprietary configurations like Drobo BeyondRAID, Synology Hybrid RAID, ZFS RAID-Z and Btrfs-RAID, and custom arrays defined with RAID Definition Language (RDL); disk images and virtual disks (VMware VMDK, QEMU/XEN QCOW/QCOW2, Hyper-V VHD/VHDX, R-Studio RDR and other); Windows Dynamic Disks, Microsoft Storage Spaces, Apple Core Storage, Fusion Drive and LVM with thin provisioning; Encrypted storages (LUKS encryption, Windows BitLocker, Apple FileVault 2, encrypted Apple APFS volumes and DMG disk images, TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt) with the possibility of in-program decrypting.

Recovery Explorer Professional also offers numerous additional instruments and functions, including an in-built disk imaging tool, a file previewer (to preview images, documents and PDF files), a hexadecimal viewer (for raw data content analysis and editing), a S.M.A.R.T monitor of drives, a quick and advanced file search, multiple file filters, etc.
