Intel Rapid Recover Technology
®
Intel Rapid Recover Technology 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.

• Three PCI Express x1 connectors
