I have a dell desktop with 2TB drives (2 separate 2TB drives) in RAID 0 set up and a 3TB WD external drive that automatically backs up the RAID drive.
I just upgraded my drive to Samsung SSD 1TB. But I had to delete a lot of files from the 2TB RAID to get it to work. I tried "excluding" several TBs of data from the 2TB RAID but the program kept stalling or getting stuck so couldn't clone the drive. But once I deleted a bunch of file from the RAID (went from 1.2 TB to like 600GB), it worked flawlessly. I have all my files of course backed up on the WD 3TB drive.
My new SSD drive is working perfectly and faster than the old.
1) I'd like to use my 2TB RAID 0 set up as a back up drive and also keep using the 3TB WD that will automatically back up the SSD and the 2TB. Will this be possible? or am I stuck only using the 3TB drive to back up the SSD?
2) Can I keep my RAID 0 set up as the backup drive? or will I have to break up the RAID set up?
3) Originally my RAID were connected to the computer on 2 bays. Now the SSD occupies one bay but now I am stuck with 2 drives. How do I connect all 3 drives? extension cables?
Am I stuck only using the 3TB drive to back up the SSD?
Right now, the SSD (1TB) is running everything. The 2TB (two separate 2 TB drives) RAID 0 is disconnected. The computer won't recognize this drive by the way. The 3TB WD backup drive is unplugged as well.
Hope my questions were clear. And more importantly someone can guide me.
Thank you.
