Raise Data Recovery review
A low-cost recovery tool with broad storage support, RAID handling, and a free trial.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Raise Data Recovery is a desktop application for home users recovering lost or deleted files. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, with recovery from internal and external HDDs and SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, simple RAID arrays, most NAS units, and composite volumes. Its recovery methods include file-system scans and raw recovery, while supported output locations include local and network storage.
The free trial gives users unlimited raw recovery and allows saving files smaller than 256 KB from file-system scans. Larger-file saving requires a paid license. The Personal License with Short-Term Support costs $34.95 as a one-time payment and includes perpetual software use, 30 days of free updates, recovery from supported Windows, macOS, and Linux file systems, simple and RAID storage support, and cross-platform license activation. The Long-Term Support plan costs $49.95 one time and extends free updates to 360 days while retaining the same listed recovery and activation features.
Its strongest fit is broad media and storage coverage in a relatively focused recovery tool. Raise Data Recovery can scan HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, and memory cards; assemble automatic RAID and composite volumes; preview images, documents, and PDFs; search and filter detected files; sort results by type; inspect hexadecimal contents; and save recovered data locally or over a network. It suits users who want cross-platform coverage, RAID support, and a low-cost entry point. Users needing to save larger files without purchasing, or recovery outside the supported file systems and RAID configurations, should consider another option.
