I have 3 x 750 GB discs in my computer. Two are fine, and a third was accidentally erased (partition was deleted).
I just bought a 1 TB drive and a 750 GB drive. I would like the 1 TB drive in my computer and the now 4 x 750 GB in the other computer under RAID 5. Now I know I need to get the one defunct drive to transfer to my computer (1 TB drive), and that's not a problem. What should I use after that, though, for the 4 x 750 GB drives?
I would like to save the data on the current 750 GB drives, if that is possible.
I probably only need to transfer movies, and I'll be connected at 1 Gb/sec. I don't need huge transfer rates, but I do not want it to take forever.
What is the best way to preserve my current data on the 2 x 750 GB drives, recover the data on the third, and end up happy?
I figure I need a RAID 5 card, please recommend me one. I can get a fifth HD for the OS. If I need more than 1 HD to recover current data tell me that.
