Hi all.
I have 3 hard drives: 1 250GB SSD that carries my OS and most installed software, one 2 TB for mass storage, but I also moved my profile folder on there ( so desktop, downloads, documents etc folders are sitting on it) and one 500GB hdd for other junk files and my steam games.
The 2TB AND 500 GB HDDs are starting to lag and sometimes i can hear them skip. I was thinking of getting a 3TB HDD, partitioning it, and RAIDing each HDD to a separate partition on the new HDD so that if they happen to die, my stuff wont disappear and i can avoid hassle. My quesiton is:
Can this be done? Is it possible RAID an entire HDD to a separate virtual partition on a 2nd HDD? Are there better or more advisable ways to back these things up? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
