In my case right now i have 1 128GB SSD (BOOT) and 1 1TB HDDs
Im almost out of storage space, and i want to upgrade a little.
I have a 128GB SSD and 1 1TB HDD at the house already but im gonna get another 1 TB HDD so i have plenty of growing room.
I know how to set up the RAID 0 for my SSDs... BUT

I dont know if 1 4TB external Hard Drive will accept my 2+TBs of HDD data AND the 256GB of SSD RAID 0 , without somekind of program or special action taken on my part


Thanks for your help.

This is probably the best solution. RAID0 accomplishes very little with SATA SSD's
Install the programs that don't fit on the second SSD and backup all your drives independently to the 4Tb drive.

OK, thanks.
Im now really considering leaving the 2 SSDs apart rather than RAID them.
I think itll be too much hassle in the end.
