This glossary was created by the team of data recovery experts from www.ReclaiMe.com. In 2009, we developed ReclaiMe data recovery software, standing out of the line with its simplicity (it does not even have a "Settings" button). In 2010, we released the world's first freeware to recover RAID parameters - ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery. In 2014, we released ReclaiMe Pro, the powerful data recovery toolkit aimed at data recovery experts.

It is no secret that storage devices (hard drives, USB thumbdrives, memory cards and so on) took hold. However, as any things in our world storage devices are exposed to a variety of failures so any one of us may face a necessity of recovering data. This site contains definitions of certain terms in the data recovery field. It is easy to use the site: there are two panels - the left panel contains an alphabetical index, the right one contains definitions of terms.

Since we work in IT for a long time, we've got a lot of information not only about data recovery, but also about other IT topics. You may find the following sites worth a visit

We also have a tool to quickly estimate the capacity of a RAID array given RAID level, number of disks, and their capacity.
