Intel Rapid Storage Technology RAID question
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could give some input on choosing between RAID 1 and Recovery volumes. I have two 6 TB disks that are going to be used to store files and low priority programs. All I need is redundancy since they are rotating drives. RAID 1 would work fine for uptime but Recovery is also an option that will use RAID 1 on demand it would seem.
Is there a reason to select one over the other? Any performance benefits or detraction from either approach?
Thanks for the help.

You can't create recovery volumes unless one of the drives is less than 1.3 TB and they're both 6 TB.
I went with the RAID 1. Thank you for the help though. I had read that post. :)
