Currently I have a the following setup:
- Drive A/B: Identical HDD's
- Drive C: 2TB external drive with plenty of space currently.
- Hardware RAID controller
Currently I have Drive A which is my boot drive (Win7), and Drive C which is a data drive, and Drive B which I only recently received and is blank.
What is the best way of moving off of Drive A, setting up the hardware RAID and then migrating my data back onto the RAID array? I'm proficient with Linux, but I'm not sure if I can get away with simply using dd
here.
There is currently enough free space on Drive C to take 5-6 copies of a disk image of Drive A, so space isn't an issue.
