I've never setup a RAID array before and i'd like to . I'm currently using the 1TB RE2 GP from WD (WD10FYPS) and I just bought another one. I couldn't resist the 30% cashback from eBay.

I just have a couple questions for you guys.. I'd like to do a RAID 0 array with both drives but is it possible to setup an array and keep the existing data on the original drive ?

I know its probably not possible but I had to ask.. thanks in advance..
 
Nope, creating an array will destroy the data on those drives.

Also, why do you want to do raid 0 on such large drives?

I just figured I wanted to weigh my options..
 
IIRC the green drives don't work well in raid unless you change the tler settings.
