What's new in version 9.15:

 

• In the 'Open thin-provisioned volume' tool:
  - Added a function to open a volume in case of partial metadata damage ('ignore errors' mode);
  - Added support of 'thick' volumes (with pre-allocated space);
  
• In the general storage decryption dialog: added support of constant initialization vector;
  
• Some optimizations of GUI for default (double-click) actions (to decrypt encrypted storages etc.);
  
• Some optimizations of 'Drives/Bridges security' tool (to speed-up detection, get rid of unnecessary volume unmounts etc.);
  
• RAID5 and RAID6: added an option to generate virtual defect blocks explicitly instead of using pattern fill (to sort good/bad files basing on defects);
  
• RAID builder GUI:
  - Added support of RAID50 and RAID60 as separate RAID types;
  - Pattern display grid is also adopted to RAID50 / RAID60;
  - Added a configuration parameter for virtual reproduction of defect blocks on over-degraded areas (RAID levels 5, 6, 50 and 60);
  - Added stripe of size 512 bytes to the stripe size selection list;
  
• Drobo RAID: added bitmap support for cache, fixed bug with adaptive RAID reconstruction;
  
• Added support of direct access to SMART/identification of NVMe storages on USB adaptors with Realtek, Asmedia and JMicron bridge chips;
  
• Under Linux: added support of direct access to NVMe SMART/identification information;
  
• In SMART monitor:
  - NVMe: added indication of maximum (warning) temperature and current TBW (terabytes written) basing on NVMe SMART;
  - SAS: added displaying of G-list size for SSD; also added TBW estimation (both SSD and HDD), basing on Log Page 02h information (WRITE log);
  - SATA SSD: added displaying of TBW estimation using F9h SMART attribute, when available;
  
• Under Windows: added system (OS) file cache size to software settings - to control system memory use when working with image files;
  
• Few corrections to FAT/FAT32 scan procedure (to support several previously unsupported metadata damages);
  
• Added support of several recent digital cameras (RAW formats) to embedded viewer.
