We're working on a RAID 5 EE (enhanced RAID 5) and are having some trouble figuring out the best tool(s) to use to do a software reconstruction of the RAID. We've tried several of the "usual" software packages, but not much luck so far.

Any suggestions would be welcome. Please PM me if needed. Thank you!

I tested all commercial RAID recovery software which I have come across and none of them are the golden egg. Now a days I can rebuild a RAID faster with winhex then attempting to use any software on the market.

quasimodo,

The only commercial utilities I see that claim to be able to do this are the getway utility and data compass...

I have tried Getway's Raid Recovery. I still have to see it yet perform even an easy Raid5. It looks nice, but the whole parity analysis is rubbish. From all the apps I tested it was pretty far on the bottom. (close to ocean bottom :lol:

)

Never tried Data Compass, but doesn't DE have that capability too?

Winhex is very hard to beat, if nothing else, pure speed. You can rearrange drives, reconstructs array virtually very fast in RAM which is very nice. Also, the only tools I have that can handle RAID 5E/5EE as well as Backward delayed Parity are DCEXP and Winhex. Of course, you can reconstruct nearly any type under Linux...
