Units with Rapid RAID Recovery enabled will not be readable if moved
to controllers using pre-9.5.1 firmware. If you wish to move the unit to a
controller with pre-9.5.1 firmware, you must first disable Rapid RAID
Recovery.

Units created on controllers with pre-9.5.1 firmware will not be able to
take advantage of Rapid RAID Recovery when the controller is updated
to 9.5.1 or later. These units will show Rapid RAID Recovery as disabled.

Changing or disabling Rapid RAID Recovery

Rapid RAID Recovery can only be enabled (that is - set to All or Rebuild)
when the unit is created. You can change between All and Rebuild at any
time. However, if you disable Rapid RAID Recovery, you cannot then enable
it.
