I have a harddrive that I use right now with my computer. I recently bought 2 more of the identical drive (WD 6TB black) so that I can put all 3 of them in a RAID 5 array. I don't know jack about how to go about safely taking the files/programs/ect from the single HDD and put that into the new RAID 5.
I know I probably have to do a system image or something...but I don't really know how to do that or what the heck a system image is and if it is even better than just backing up files onto an external HDD. I could really use some guidance here.
I should note that I have an intel 750 series SSD that runs my OS and that is staying the same. I simply want to turn my single storage HDD into the RAID 5. Thanks!
