What's new in this update
The update includes implementation of new file system, data recovery and data access algorithms enhancements, user interface tweaking. Among key modifications are:

• Support of ExFAT file system. The file system was introduced by Microsoft Corporation as an alternative for older FAT and FAT32 file systems. It pushes most limitations of these file systems and could be used for flash/SSD storages of larger capacity and to store large files. UFS Explorer software now implements files access for data stored on ExFAT on all OS platforms as well as supports damaged ExFAT volumes reconstruction and deleted files recovery. Raise Data Recovery for FAT now includes support of ExFAT file system. In UFS Explorer Professional Recovery implemented full support of ExFAT file system, including metadata structures navigation and analysis.
• Better support for Sun (Oracle) ZFS file system. Now software supports both x86 and Sun-SPARC variations of ZFS, as well as mixed file system format. The software still not supports ZFS file systems created on RAID-Z pools.
• Better support of VMFS file system, including support of newer VMFS5 in UFS Explorer Professional Recovery. The software includes metadata analysis and file fragments navigation (including allocation analysis for virtual disks).
• User interface enhancements, including explanation of scan stages in Professional Recovery and scan optimization for larger file systems with more files.
