  • The hardware for Quick Recovery should include sufficient storage to be able to create dynamic volumes on separate disks or LUNs for the following purposes:
    • Databases
    • Transaction logs
    • FILESTREAM filegroups
    • Split-mirror snapshots of the database and transaction log volumes
