Motherboard- Asus M4A785TD-V EVO
Drives- 2x WD Black 1TB, 2x Seagate 7200.12 1TB
(all drives working as single right now)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Currently, the two WD Black drives are in use with critical data that I don't want to lose. I'm wanting to build a RAID 0 array using the empty Seagate drives and copy all data from the WD Black drives into the array. After I copy and verify that all data is safe, will I then be able to blank the WD Black drives and add those to the existing array? The end goal is RAID 10, but I will take RAID 01 if the controller doesn't support 10 (haven't checked yet).
