hyunkeru Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I have two WD 200G SATA drives, if I want to convert them to dynamic disk and combine them as one drive. Am I going lost all my data? Also I will upgrade my motherboard and CPU in the near future. Is that going to be any problem moving the combined drive to my new PC. Does anyone know that? Thanks.

LiquidSage Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 it shouldn't be a problem.Keep in mind...-If a disk dies you could lose both disks worth of info depending on what type of dynamic disk setup you choose.-Windows can't boot from a dynamic disk so you will need another HD to run your OS off of.-Laptop computers and XP Home systems are not supported, neither are usb/firewire drives-The filesystem cannot differ across disks you wish to group.

Zxian Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Does your motherboard support RAID0? You're better off setting that up if you want better performance to go along with your increased "disk" size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
