Combining HDDs for bigger size

Solution
Hey there, GianMarco Douglas!

Why would you wish to combine them? Do you have any specific purpose that you'd wish to RAID the WD Blue drives?
I'd suggest to put both drives in your system and use them as 2 x 1 TB HDDs, because it's safer that way. If you wish to RAID both of them and use their full capacity (combined 2 TB). You'd need to do either JBOD or RAID 0, both of which are not a good idea if you intend to use them just as data storage.
Why? Because if one WD Blue fails the data on both drives will be lost, so you'd need a backup of that data for sure. RAID arrays are not considered a backup solution.

Let me know what are your plans!
Keep me posted if you have more specific questions! :)
