Hello Divxoxo,

what exactly do you mean under "partition" in this case? Are your first 3TB and 1TB seperate hard drives, or are they both in a RAID or JBOD configuration?

Cheers!

Hi

I have 3TB hdd partition (ex E:/) and i added 1 tb Hdd to add more space and made a spanned partition with 2 disks and E:/ is now 4 TB and also full.

Now I want to separate both the hdd ie, 3 Tb and 1 Tb with out data loss.

Hi again Divxoxo,

Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to do that.

If you separate a drive from the volume set, you are going to lose data, as some of it is written on both physical drives. All I can suggest is for you to backup the whole spanned volume of 4 TB, replace your HDD of 1TB, rebuild a blank new spanned volume and restore the data. You could use the WD SmartWare software to do that:

I hope I've helped!
Best of luck!
