could it create a problem when I throw all data of 4 hdd's on a single new one?

Thomassie2000 · Aug 18, 2016

hey everyone.

I'm currently running 4hdd's and one ssd in my rig but I want to go to 1 hdd and keep my ssd. so when I buy a new 2tb Seagate hdd can I throw all stuff from the other hdd's onto the new one without creating any problems?

and do all my shortcuts still work?

I also have one raid 0 array for all of my games.

You'll have to reinstall anything on the RAID array to the new HDD.
Files, like photos or videos should transfer over, the easiest route would be to burn them to DVD or copy them to a flash drive then transfer over to the new HDD.

As long as the partitions match the old drive letters the OS won't know the difference.

Old (example)

C: = SSD
D: = Raid 0 of drives 1 and 2
E: = Drive 3
F: = Drive 4

New

C: = SSD
2TB drive: Partition 1 = D:
Partition 2 = E:
Partition 3 = F:

thanks to both of you!

but is there maybe any software which transfers all data and edits shortcuts?
