I have 4 drives in my pc one of which is c drive. Drive C is almost full so, I'd like to extend c drive to all 3 drives. All four are formatted NTFS simple volume and they're all listed as primary. How do I connect all 4 drive, in effect extending the one C drive. Is this possible? Please help.

It's possible...ish. Not quite how you're thinking though.

RAID0 would be what you're looking for, where the 2 (or more) drives act as one. So 2x 1TB drives = 2TB partition (in a simplistic sense).

The problem here with that, is it cannot (should not?) be configured post-OS. So now that you're running with everything 'as is', converting your setup to RAID is not really an option.

If I were you, I'd simply move files to your other drives - and map those files (documents, downloads , music etc) to automatically go to those drives instead.

Pick as the solution

A big thanks, again. I will check your recommendation out. Another question please: What happens if I just move me as user to the next HDD, would it work? Would I be able to even do this?
