So I've never setup a RAID before and have a second WD 8TB Easystore coming for my media server. How do I go about setting up Raid for it? Does it matter that the drive I currently have is populated with files? What are the differences in RAID choices IE: Raid0, Raid1, etc?
The main positive in a RAID is if one drive dies the data is still intact on the other correct? Does the setup just show as one drive on your system in file manager so if I copy a file from drive d: to e: it populates on both drives or would I have to manually duplicate said copy?
Anything else I should know? Remember total NEWB here.
