About raid 1

[xboxSiao]

HI is me again, just some question to ask..

Just bought my new HDD and formatted it already
based on my previous post some of the guys recommend me to do raid 1 on my HDD..

1) if I'm gonna do raid 1, will my data in my other HDD be formatted too??
2) and total I have 2TB how much space should I do?? Mostly games and videos

Thanks

Don't see a need why you need to raid 1.

Short answer, RAID1 = all data on both disks will be destroyed.

Long Answer, Might be possible for u to migrate from 1 disk to RAID1 (thus keeping all ur data), depending on whether ur RAID controller supports it.

Ultimately, u need to understand y do u need a RAID1

Haiyo your usage so basic you wanna do raid You're better off without doing raid and just use that 2tb, you only use raid if your data is crucial.. Movies and games aren't!

Pointless to do a raid 1 if u don't have very important data. Just follow what ^ mentioned. 1 drive for regular use, 1 drive for backup only.
