I'm not sure if this is the correct section, but I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to create a new RAID 1 using a disk that already has data on it.
I have a 2 TB hitachi with about 1.5 TB of data on it (non-OS), and don't have anywhere to store it in the meantime.
It's simple/basic NTFS using GPT and has a single partition.
I just bought a second identical drive, so would it be possible to somehow change the filled drive to RAID 1 and add the second disk into the array as if it was a replacement?
