Free Raid recovery

There is no legitimate, completely free RAID-5 recovery software that can automatically rebuild the array and recover all data, and using shared or cracked license keys is both illegal and risky. That said, recovery is still possible using free and lawful methods if you are careful. Tools like Stellar Data Recovery Technician,  TestDisk or PhotoRec can recover files after scanning individual disks or a reconstructed RAID image, and using Linux with mdadm is often the most effective free option to manually assemble a degraded RAID-5 from the remaining healthy drives. If the array assembles successfully, the data can usually be mounted and copied, or scanned further if the filesystem is damaged. Demo versions of professional tools can also help identify RAID parameters before spending any money. The safest approach is to rely on Linux-based tools, work on copies of the disks whenever possible, and avoid any cracked or unofficial software.
