Making the drives on Sharespace be available as Normal drives, without any RAID ability

Hey, is that possible to make drives in the ShareSpace work as a normal drives each on its on?

And more over.

Could i use Raid0 on 2 drives of 1TB on ShareSpace and then transfer the Drives to the 1.5TB MBWE? so it can use Raid0 but with 2TB instaed of 1.5?

I mean transferring all the information from the MBWE to the sharespace 2x1TB drives and then put them in the MBWE to increase its size?

Thank you all!

If you check the user manual of the SS, the answer is no, but the closest would be the two mirror option when you have the 4 drives, it will dive you 2 separate volumes.

On the other hand, for you to have a RAID 0, you need all the drives to be the same and the RAID configuration to be done with its original controller, so it can’t be done also.

Thanks for the info mate. My Ss is currently set on Raid0 with 2x1TB so. This works. What’s left is either try to transfer all the data to it and try to place the drives in the MBWE and hope it’ll work, if not I’ll simply transfer the data into 2 new 2x1TB drives I’ll put in there. And hopefully it’ll be long but will work…
