Hetman RAID Recovery review
A deep RAID recovery tool for complex arrays, encrypted volumes, and remote storage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hetman RAID Recovery is designed to reconstruct and analyze failed or inaccessible RAID arrays, NAS and DAS devices, servers, storage pools, disk images, virtual disks, and SSH block devices. It suits home users, IT professionals, businesses, and data-recovery specialists working with damaged or inaccessible multi-disk storage. The software runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and can analyze supported file systems after a storage structure has been reconstructed.
Its licensing is divided by use case. Home is for personal, non-commercial use, supports RAID arrays with up to 3 member disks, and provides a perpetual license for one computer. Office is for internal business and professional IT use, supports up to 5 member disks, and excludes paid recovery services for clients. Business is intended for data-recovery specialists and service providers, supports an unlimited number of member disks, and permits commercial client recovery. An evaluation trial allows scanning and previewing, while saving recovered data requires a license.
The standout capability is reconstruction depth: automatic RAID metadata detection works alongside manual and automatic RAID Constructor tools, including virtual reconstruction without modifying source disks. The software supports JBOD, linear, concatenated, RAID 0, 1, 1E, 4, 5, 5E, 5EE, 6, 10, 01, 50, 51, 60, and 61, plus recovery from encrypted volumes and files with valid credentials. Sector-by-sector imaging, HEX analysis, saved scan results, and recovery resume add practical control for difficult cases. Choose it when array reconstruction and storage variety matter most; choose a simpler recovery tool when the job involves only a straightforward single-disk deletion.
