Here is the back story - Four physical hard drives configured in RAID0. Two of the hard drives are 1TB and two of the hard drives are 320GBs. The two 320GBs hard drives are configured as the system drive in RAID0. One of the drives has failed and operating system is corrupted. Data on the two 1TB hard drives has to be backed up.
Here is the scenario - Two 2TB hard drives were recently purchased. One has been delivered the other has not shipped yet. Is it possible to either:
- Partition the 2TB hard drive into two 1TB partitions and configure RAID0 (virtual RAID0 - I guess)
OR
- Create a 320GB partition on the 2TB hard drive and then place it in the SATA port where the failed hard drive was housed and then configured RAID0 that way
The only reason these scenarios are being posed is to recover the data off of the two 2TB hard drives that are currently configured in RAID0. Once the other hard drive ships and is delivered, this question is moot. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether either, neither, or both of these scenarios would work?
Also, is there a more concrete way of recovering the data off of the two 2TB hard drives?
