What is the easiest way to do this in Windows?
I have a few 250GB Drives in my desktop. How can I put them into one big hard drive? I hate having 5 different drive letters, I would rather just have a 1.25TB D: drive. How would this be possible? Redundancy isn’t a big deal here, just ease of use.
RAID array, or NTFS folders might be some other ways.
Thread title sounds like the name of a porn.
One, big, hard, drive.
IDE RAID. Your motherboard may have that feature available already. Check docs n specs
what, people are over complicating this. Just stripe the drives in windows. google it and I’m sure you’ll find a bunch of guides of how to stripe hard drives.
It’s not really the smarted thing to do since if one of the drives dies you chance losing data from all of the drives.
Attach all your storage inside the PC and make sure Windoze sees it. Convert all your newly installed disks to dynamic disks in Disk Management. Once they are all created (and they are all the same size, hopefully) you can select one of them to create a RAID 0/5 disk (5 requires at least 3 physical drives). That is the software method so you are using CPU cycles every time data is written to the drives using RAID 5. The other option is to buy an IDE RAID adapter which is probably the best way to go. Violation makes a good point, you probably have it built into the motherboard you are using so I would look there first.
