Data recovery professionals and digital forensics investigators have been using the R-Studio Technician Package as a powerful, reliable, and versatile tool to solve complex and demanding data recovery tasks that require comprehensive analysis of file systems. However, many small computer shops and data processing enterprises (many of which only occasionally perform data recovery) often believe that the price of the R-Studio Technician Package may be higher than the revenue it may bring them.

In response to their concerns, R-TT, Inc. has launched a new license type for its professional data recovery products: R-Studio T80+。 This is the complete version of R-Studio Technician, which can be used for a certain period of time (starting from 80 days) if the licensee does not require long-term use, at a price equivalent to the R-Studio standalone license ($79.99). In addition to some advanced technological features, the T80+license also allows licensees to perform data recovery from third-party storage devices, whether for investigative or commercial purposes, which is not allowed under other R-Studio licenses (excluding technicians).

The R-Studio T80+license is applicable to:

1. Small data recovery companies and computer stores. They may use a fully functional R-Studio Technician replica for $1 per day for data recovery cases that require advanced and complex software. Most importantly, they do not need to constantly extend their licenses; This can be completed as needed.
2. Training courses on data recovery and forensics. Teachers can only use T80+license when teaching on R-Studio. They don't have to pay for the time spent training students to do other things. Then, they can extend the license when resuming R-Studio training.

Software Introduction

The license period starts from the date of license activation. When it expires, it may be extended; Either immediately or after a period of time. The licensee has the full right to obtain all updates during the validity period. In addition, the license can be upgraded to a permanent R-Studio Technician license at any time before the license expires at the initial price difference.

There are slight differences between T80+and Technician Package:

Unlike the R-Studio Technician in the R-Studio Technician Package, R-Studio T80+ ：

1. Only licensed for specific operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux)
2. Requires internet connection and online activation

The remaining functions are the same, including:

1. Business and investigative services
2. Unrestricted temporary installation on any computer, including customers'
3. Evidence report
4. Support launching software from mobile devices
5. Remote data recovery, including through local networks and the Internet
6. Collaborate with supported hardware and software
7. Multi channel and runtime imaging can extract as much data as possible while minimizing damage to faulty drives
8. Drive Copy Wizard, used to copy data from physical and virtual drive objects
9. Advanced Text and Hexadecimal Editor

Below we will show you three examples of how to use R-Studio T80+to handle complex data recovery scenarios:

1. Multi channel image of faulty drive

Data recovery through the network is used for devices that cannot be easily opened to remove their hard drives from the chassis. For this, we will use a Mac Mini computer with APFS Fusion Drive.

Create very complex RAID (RAID on RAID or nested RAID); RAID5+1 system.

In addition, these examples may also be very helpful for R-Studio Technician as its operational process is the same.

When a DIY or semi professional file recovery program creates a multi-channel image of a faulty drive, it is done in sequence. This means that it reads the drive from start to finish in one go through a set of consecutive drive sectors (called sector blocks). When the program encounters a sector that is bad or slow, it still attempts to read the entire area, ultimately resulting in the complete loss of data in that area. To avoid this situation, many programs automatically switch to reading a single sector. This method greatly reduces the reading speed, although dense reading from poor sectors may seriously damage the driving surface, magnetic head, and other driving mechanical devices. Therefore, the drive may crash before the program starts reading data from the good part of the drive.

R-Studio T80+can use different imaging methods: multi-channel imaging. It first attempts to retrieve data from the good parts of the drive, leaving bad and slow areas for later use. When R-Studio T80+encounters a bad or slow sector block, it discards it and jumps to another area until it finds an area without a bad or slow sector. Then it continues to read data until it encounters another bad or slow block, and repeats the process. After reading all the good areas, the program starts reading data from slow and bad sectors. This method can maximize the amount of data that can be recovered from a faulty drive.
