Help with multiple drives....
Till now i have only used a single drive setup on my PC. I am planning to buy a new disk drive for my HD camcorder videos and for other backup. I have read some forums about the RAID setup for data security. I have no idea what RAID is and i do not want to loose any data form either of my drives.
My motherboard is Gigabyte P55-USB3, i don't know if i have to setup a RAID configuration or is it auto defined. Maybe you guys can help me. My HDD is in the SATA_0 slot and DVD-ROM in SATA_1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
One more thing, will i be able to use my PC with the primary drive if this secondary drive is not connected. I have another PC in my house and i might transpose the hard drive from one PC to another. The other PC too has a Gigabyte board. I may not even keep it connected, i just want to use it for backup and viewing videos whenever i need to. The use is much of an external drive i do not have that much budget and require a large space.
Your help would be greatly appreciated....
