Combining 2 HDDs?

[Novakane_]

I am not to familiar with the different kinds of RAID, as ive seen is the solution for combining drives.

I have a WD Green and Seagate if that makes any sort of difference.

I wouldn't consider putting a WD green in a raid. It just isn't designed for it.

What are you actually trying to do?

While there are multiple different kinds of 'RAID', it is probably not what you really want, aside from a buzzword.

raid arrays are better built using identical drives, no point in making one from your 2. just use them separately, it's safer

That's kind, of but not really, an 'answer'.
Why, is the question.

But....
1. You do NOT want to do that with a WD Green
2. RAID 0 is what you're looking for. But....
...that brings so many fail possibilities, it is soooo not worth trying to do this.

What is this PC used for?

There are so many ways to install things on different drives. Attempting to have them be a single drive letter is pretty much useless.

JBOD is what you are looking to do, not really a raid solution. Also if the disk are clean (no volumes) you can create a spanning volume over both disk (in windows).

One word of caution, back up. Use a cloud service to back up the data on the volume you end up using. If one disk fails you will lose all the information from the spanning volume. If one disk fails in a JBOD setup, you just lose the info from that failed disk.

Again, BACK UP your data.
