Ext2/3/4FS and XFS (created by Linux or another OS), FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS/NTFS5 with data deduplication, exFAT, ReFS/ReFS2+/ReFS 3.4, APFS (including encryption), HFS+, HFSX, HFS, and UFS1, UFS2, UFS BigEndian (used by the FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD operating systems), ISO9660 (CDs/DVDs/Images), UStar/Tar/CPIO/Pax* (Tape drives).

Damaged RAID recovery. Standard RAID levels supported: volume set, 0, 1, 4, 5, 6. Nested and non-standard RAID level supported: 10(1+0), 1E, 5E, 5EE, 6E. Support for parity delays in all applicable levels. Support for customer-specified RAID layouts.

Automatic RAID parameter recognition. R-Studio can recognize all RAID parameters for RAID 5 and 6. This feature helps the user to solve one of the most difficult problems in RAID recovery - RAID parameter recognition.

An advanced algorithm for raw file recovery (search for file signatures): R-Studio's known file types search recognizes the file structure of common file types, allowing you to recover data from disks where the file system is damaged or unknown (i.e. HDDs, CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, Compact Flash Card, USB drives, ZIP drives, memory sticks, and other removable media).

User-defined known file types. It's possible to create very complex definitions to accurately identify non-standard file type.

Estimation of chances for successful file recovery.

Supported Operating Systems: Recovers data from networked computers running Win2000, XP, Vista, Win7, Win8, Mac OS X or Linux and certain UNIX platforms.

Almost all R-Studio's files (images, scan info, logs, etc.) can be saved to and load from, a remote computer.

Low bandwidth, low data transfer: Data recovery and analysis processes run locally (on the host computer with the damaged/deleted disks), rather than on the remote technician's computer to increase data recovery speed and reduce bandwidth. Likewise, recovered data can be saved to a local disk without being transferred over the network.

Disk imaging: R-Studio can create exact duplicates of entire disks, logical disks or partitions. Disk images are compatible with all previous versions of R-Studio.

Advanced disk imaging: Disk images can be split, compressed and password-protected. These disk images require the current version of R-Studio or R-Drive Image.

Disk imaging and scan can be performed simultaneously.

Advanced object copy: In addition to byte-to-byte copy of any object visible in the Drives panel, partitions and hard drives can be smart-copied with certain parameters changed.

Two advanced disk imaging methods in R-Studio Technician: runtime and multi-pass disk imaging algorithms that make R-Studio for Linux the cornerstone of a powerful data recovery workstation.

All versions of R-Studio can create images in the rdr file format(native for R-TT products), including its encryption, and load VMDK/VHD/VHDX/VDI files, R-Studio Corporate and Technician/T80+ versions can create them.

Hexadecimal disk and file editor: Supports NTFS file non-resident attribute storage. Preset and custom patterns and templates help parse data according to known data structures. It also shows files located in particular disk sectors.

Bootable R-Studio Emergency Disk. R-Studio Emergency (32/64 bit) version can boot directly from an external USB drive, optical disc or several floppy disks. Useful for recovering data from internal hard drives on computers that cannot startup due to damaged or corrupted file systems.

Improved emergency startup for UEFI computers.

File preview: Double-click files to preview the recovered file. Useful for estimating the probability of successful recovery. The built-in powerful file previewer shows picture tiles and first frames of video files as icons, and supports a large number of video/audio/graphic/document file formats. These files can be played back without their respective applications installed.

S.M.A.R.T. attribute monitoring. R-Studio can display S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) attributes for hard drives to show their hardware health and predict their possible failures. Any unnecessary work with such hard drives should be avoided if S.M.A.R.T. warnings appear. Hard drive icons in the Drive View are used to show HDD S.M.A.R.T. status.
