Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I do a lot of video and photographic work and need to set up a large storage (and backup system). I wondered if the following is possible or whether there is a better way of doing it:
I would like to get an Icybox and install four large HDDs. I would like to then merge two drives into one volume and use the other two drives (merged if necessary) to back up automatically. I need to be able to access the drives from a laptop and also from a desktop. Is this possible?
If at all possible I would like to do this bit by bit as I have some spare internal hard drives which I would like to initially use and then replace gradually as they fill up so save spending a tonne in one go - would there be any issues with replacing the drives one by one as the time comes?
Alternatively is there a better way of doing this?
Many thanks,
Mark
