![]() ![]() ![]() Virtual RAIDs can be constructed using any device objects visible to R-Studio, be they hard drives, logical disks, or images. Such a virtual object can be searched for files and scanned, and files found on it can be recovered in the same way that they would from normal drives/volumes. That is, you can construct the original RAID from its drives and/or drive images in R-Studio and process it as you would any other device object. Working with RAIDs in R-Studio is based on the concept of virtual volume sets and RAIDs. For example, for a mirror (RAID 1) of two drives, at least one must be valid, whereas for a RAID 5 of three disks, the number of valid drives should be two. The number of drives needed in order to get data back depends on the RAID layout. But what to do if you have only drives or drive images of a faulty RAID? R-Studio can still help you to get the data back, provided that the drives necessary for the RAID to operate are working or you have the images of those drives. Nevertheless, if you've lost data on an NTFS drive then you've got little to lose by running this although it doesn't detect everything that's been lost or corrupted.R-Studio detects and treats valid software RAIDs or hardware RAIDs as regular drives/volumes. However, this doesn't mean it will always recognise the files that you are looking for because if they've been corrupted, the structure or format may also have been changed. The program works courtesy of a 'Raw File Recovery' feature that can recognizes & recovers more than 300 file types including documents, spreadsheets, web content & images. It's also pretty useful if you want to partition your drive to install alternative operating systems. ![]() The program has been designed with ease of use in mind - the software has a very simple GUI that includes a find file option, file mask and file filter so that you can target specific file types. Most Windows users are now on NTFS which is considerably quicker and doesn't fragment as much although older systems, such as those using Windows 2000. However, this particular version is only for those with NTFS formatted drives - if you're not sure what type of drive you have then right click on your hard drive and select "properties" to see whether you're using an NTFS drive. ![]()
