I have a bunch of old PC parts, including a few really small hard drives. I had some spare time, so I figured I'd put together a computer from all the stuff laying around. Question is, is there any software out there to combine several hard drives into one? I know I can get a controller card and what not, but I'm just looking for something simple. If not, it's back top spare parts thanks
What os are you running. If you have xp pro you can convert the disks to dynamic disks and create stripped volumes. Fair warning, in my experience, if you have faster drives and a slower drive, it will slow down the stripped volume to the speed of the slowest harddrive.
You can also map one drive to a directory on another. Like C:\stuff could be the second drive. Control panel -> adminitrative tools -> computer management is where you would find it I believe.

JBOD should actually be easier than Level 0, as all it does is fill one drive to the end and start on the next.

Windows 2K and XP supports JBOD in software. It's called extended volume or something. No idea because I never used it. Easiest way would be to mount the drive as a folder on the other drive though.
Is it possible to mount a network drive as a folder out of interest? I was thinking about maybe having the music directory from my main computer shared between my other two, but I dont want to make it a shared drive and its a bitch typing in the full address.
