Advice on HDD setup

[Michael_10]

Just been checking my available space on my western digital 500gb drive, and it is starting to get very full. Just looking for some advice on what I could get to replace the drive. I have a SSD with my Windows OS on it, so I'm basically just looking for more storage. Right now I was thinking of 2 Samsung F3 drives in a raid 0 array, but I don't have any experience of raid arrays and I'm not too sure on the easiest way to transfer all my files over.

Thanks

Why use RAID 0 for storage drives? You only need RAID 0 for OS drives or scratch drives.

For storage, you usually want the "green" drives...unless you have programs and stuff on there, in which case it might be worth getting the faster, more expensive drives instead. For the "green" drives, look at the WD Green 2 TB or Samsung F4EG 2 TB.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear there, I should have said for storage and to install programs. Thanks for the reply though!
