(Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
• RAID 0 - data striping
• RAID 1 - data mirroring
• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring
• RAID 5 - distributed parity

Intel
®
Rapid Recover Technology (Intel
®
RRT)
The Desktop Board supports Intel Rapid Recover Technology which enables fast and
easy recovery of your data in the event of a hard drive failure. It allows you to
maintain a complete copy of your primary or master drive onto a second hard drive,
the recovery drive. If the master hard drive should fail, either from a mechanical
failure or the result of a virus, recovery is as simple as booting from the recovery
drive. The recovery drive can be attached to your system via any standard SATA or
eSATA connection.
Intel Rapid Recover Technology also provides the added benefit of allowing the
recovery drive to be mounted as a read-only volume so you can quickly copy files from
the recovery drive when individual files need to be recovered.
For information on configuring your system for Intel Rapid Recover Technology see
Chapter 5.
