Rapid recover technology provides data protection by allowing users to easily restore data and system operation using a designated recovery drive with the rapid recovery technology which employs raid 1 functionality users can copy the data from the master drive to the recovery drive if needed the data on the recovery drive can be restored back to the master drive 70

The recovery drive must have equal or greater capacity than the master drive a recovery volume can be created with two hard drives only a recovery volume and a raid array cannot co exist in the system at the same time that is if you have already created a recovery volume you are unable to create a raid array by default only the master drive can be viewed in the operating system the recovery drive is hidden 70
