Our verdict on Sherlock Forensics Recover

Sherlock Forensics Recover is Windows data-recovery software for failed or degraded RAID arrays, individual disks, and forensic images. It is aimed at forensic workflows and recovery work that requires more than simple file export, including RAID reconstruction, deleted-file recovery, disk imaging, and evidence records. The software supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, JBOD, nested RAID 50, and RAID 60, along with NTFS, FAT, exFAT, ext, XFS, Btrfs, ZFS, APFS, and HFS+ filesystems.

Pricing is split between a Free plan and a Pro plan. Free supports browsing and previewing volumes, exporting files, and creating raw or E01 disk images. Pro costs $295 as a one-time purchase and adds deleted-file recovery, unallocated-space carving, RAID reconstruction, lost-partition search, and recovery from previous Windows versions. The paid tier is therefore centered on deeper recovery and reconstruction rather than simply expanding export options. For a buyer focused on RAID analysis, the one-time model keeps the license structure straightforward; for occasional basic recovery, the Free plan covers a narrower workflow.

The standout capability is array analysis before recovery. Sherlock Forensics Recover scores candidate layouts against filesystem structures and detects out-of-sync disks, refusing them when appropriate. It can also recover from raw, E01, Ex01, VMware, and Hyper-V images, while SHA-256 fingerprints and source-location records support evidence handling for recovered files. Choose it when RAID layout reconstruction, imaging, and traceable recovery records matter. Choose an alternative when you need a non-Windows application or only require general file recovery without RAID and forensic features.
