<div class="BodyAfterHead"><a name="2059758">The Rapid Raid Recovery feature increases the speed with which a redundant </a>unit can be made redundant again when a rebuild is required. It can also increase the speed of verification or initialization that may occur in the event of an unclean shutdown.</div>
<div class="BodyAfterHead"><a name="2055347">Rapid RAID Recovery is possible because the firmware maps the unit, and </a>tracks the areas of the unit where write activity occurs. Then, if a rebuild, initialization, or verify is required, the controller only has to address the active areas. The fewer active areas, the faster the rebuild, initialize or verify.</div>
<div class="BodyAfterHead"><a name="2055342">Since the units are mapped out and tracked from the creation of the unit, this </a>feature can only be enabled during unit creation. Also, once disabled, it cannot be re-enabled.</div>
<div class="Body"><a name="2158815">The more space is available on a unit, the more benefit you will see in the </a>event of a rebuild, if you enable Rapid RAID Recovery. If all of a unit’s capacity is being used, you may not see reduction of rebuild speed when using Rapid RAID Recovery. However, Rapid RAID Recovery still provides benefits to unit verification and to initialization after an unclean shutdown, regardless of the disk usage. </div>
