Moving from RAID 10 to Single Drive
Last response: in Storage
Hi everyone,
I am moving from a 2 TB RAID 10 array (4 x 1 TB), which is my D drive, to a 2 TB single drive. I've already copied the partition to the single drive, which is now the E drive. I boot off another drive (C). The RAID array has several programs and most of my data.
What's my next step? Do I simply unplug the RAID drives, boot into Windows, and change the drive letter E to D? That seems too simple...

Yes you can do this. You'll need to make your RAID 10 a temporary letter like Z and then simply make your new 2TB E drive the D drive.
But yeah, if you copied all of your data off of the RAID 10 and you can access and verify that it all shows up under the 2TB single disk, then its just a matter of unplugging the RAID and rebooting![:)]( ":)")
