Hello Guys,
I have constant hard disk failure from overworking my HD way too much on a daily basis so this year I've decided to do a motherboard BIOS Raid 1 for the first time.
I understand that I do need 2 new formatted HD in order to do Raid 1. So my questions are as below.
1. Would it be possible to buy 2 new HD and turn them both into Raid 1 and clone my old D drive into the Raid 1 HD?
2. Knowing that I need clean formatted HD, if one of my Raid drives fails and I want to replace it with a new formatted HD into the old existing Raid 1 again, do I need to buy 2 new HD again and clone the old data back into the 2 new Raid drives?
I hope I'm clear enough on my issues.
Thank you for reading and helping me out
