What is a "recovery set" in Intel MSM?

1

Intel Matrix Storage Manager offers several levels of RAID. Most of these I am familiar with (RAID 0 striping, RAID 1 mirror, RAID 1+0 striped mirror, RAID 5 striping with redundancy). But there's also a "Recovery Set". What is this and how does it differ from RAID 1 mirroring?

Its a recovery-backup solution, see this PDF for documentation.

Its part of the Intel Rapid Recovery Technology

It seems that choosing RAID 1 instead of "Recovery" may cause inconvenience when a disk is failed... https://communities.intel.com/message/133614#133614

Ahh, so it's a mirror to an external drive that's not always available. That explains everything perfectly (except for why the feature is included on server motherboards). – Ben Voigt – 2012-05-09T21:07:10.563
