I'm sure this question has been asked before but a search produced no results. I have a raid array set up in a machine, and want to add hard drives to the computer independant of the raid array.
That is, I want to have the drives already set up in a raid array to stay as they are, and to add a seperate hard drive that's not part of the array.
I'm assuming that means that I can just plug the HDD in and use windows to add a partition, but I just wanted to make sure I won't be affecting the data or configuration of the other drives by confusing the raid setup just by adding another HDD.
Thanks for any help provided.
