Raid 0 external hard drives

wolfric · 2009-08-23 16:59:46

I have two "1 tb" hard drives which i use for storage. Both are 95% full but i want to raid 0 them both together. As far as i can gather it can be done.... but does it require wiping both hard drives clean to do it? how would it work if i didn't plug them both in on bootup? (both usb)

You would need to wipe them to Raid them. Why do you want to raid external drives though? AFAIK, you can't raid external drives. Not easily anyway.

Well most of my files don't split into 2 catagories and i don't want to have to go searching in both drives for files that i need. I'd like to have them all in one list...
