 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.

Before you begin:

 

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.
