Hi all
I have a two bay Icy Box (Model IB-RD3620SU3) with two identical 2TB drives (WD Green WD20EZRX) set up from the outset as RAID1. The PC runs Windows 10 (and another Icy Box but with two 4TB WD Blue drives).
I have become aware that Raid1 is not a solution to backing up data. I wish to split/uncouple the Raid 1 drives. I need to preserve the data so that I can use one of the two drives as my new master drive and then find a new way to do a proper regular back up to the second of the drives.
I have done a search and seen some suggestions about going into the Raid Bios, but despite some efforts I have not been able to find it let alone achieve the result I am looking for !
Any ideas.
Thanks all
SJ.
