Get a tool to recover RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID6, RAID 10 and 1E with variety of output options.
ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery is absolutely free and easy-to-use RAID recovery software for most common RAID types: RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 0+1, RAID 1+0, and RAID 1E. The program recovers the following RAID parameters: start offset and block size, number of member disks, member disk and data order, parity position and rotation. Once you recovered the parameters using ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery, you can run ReclaiMe data recovery software to recover data from the array; create the array image file; write the array to disk; save layout to the XML file; get the instructions and recover data using other data recovery software. ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery works with hard drives (internal and external), disk image files, hardware and software RAIDs.
I managed to recover the config for my RAID5 and then feed the instructions to ZAR. The result - all my data recovered.
Cons
Rather slow. Took almost a day to analyze the disks.
Summary
NOT Free - Must spend money to get anything out of it

Pros
Not that I can use without paying $99
Cons
Says its free but its scanning tool. It scans and then says to pay $99. Very Slow
Summary
Took 6 hrs to scan by Raid0. I did not know it was not freeware (it says it is). after all that time all I see is links to buy the other software to get the recovered file
USELESS
Free and Effective!

Pros
Gave me the parameters for my array
Cons
Absurd to complain about a free program that works
Summary
My RAID 5 crashed and I tried to repair it myself but messed up the disks. I knew what block size was used in my array but I needed the correct disk order as well. Hm... for my 5 disks arrays it is 120 variants. Searched for the automatic solution, found this FREE program and....it worked! Highly recommend to everyone.
It recovered the raid array structure

Pros
Really easy to use - connect the disks and specify the array type.
Cons
You should know what type of RAID you have.
Summary
I used the ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery application to analyze the raid disks and figure out the array structure. The program then spit out some information that I was able to "mount" the RAID structure using UFS Explorer.
