• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I was thinking of getting a RAID 0+1 setup sometime in the future, and I was wondering if this sort of sequence of actions would be possible:

1. Start off with a RAID 0+1 setup, full of data
2. Split the 0+1 into 2 RAID 0 sets with the same data on each
3. Format one of the RAID 0 sets, reinstall OS, programs, etc. on it
4. Copy all neccesary data off of the other RAID 0 onto the formatted one
5. Format the other RAID 0 set
6. Rebuild the RAID 0+1 set with the drive that now has the data on it.

I would think this should be possible, since it basically just involves splitting off half of the set, and then rebuilding it onto the other set, but I wanted to check if there's something I missed. :)
 
Should be doable but it's a bit scary.
Personally I'd just partition the array. Just chop off however much you want for your system volume, then make the rest a data partition.
