Hi guys.
A little issue has issue has developed at home.
It was a Raid 5 volume of 4x3TB WD Red SATA disks running on a HP P41- HBA with 512BBWC.
The controller died and dropped all the disks from the array. The issue is that this array held VHDX (VM's and storage drives) files which is making recovery an issue as RAW scans show the single files, not the VHDX. (It shows the VHDX as well, but not in a recoverable state)
ReClaiMe RAID recovery has found the array details.

but the trial of any software I use (I'm more than willing to pay, as long as I can get stuff back - I'm not that flush that I can chuck cash at something on a hope) can preview some files but comically, these files are stored on the VM OS VHDX files, not the storage ones.
Has anyone tried to recover VHDX files that could offer assistance? Remote access can be given if required.
If you need more info, please ask, I'm new at this.
