switching hard drives

[Cancer12]

My main hard drive is going to be fuul soon, so what do I need to use to transfer the data in it to a new hard drive? I want to transfer it to 2 60GB IBM drives in raid 0, is there something special I need to do? Also, my hard drive is one 60GB IBM drive right now, can I use that as one of the drives in the raid 0, and somehow still get the current data there?

RAID 0 requires reformatting of the 2 HDs, so I guess that does not work for you.
Also, be sure to use identical HDs.

The easiest way is to put two new HDs in as Raid 0, configure stripe size and such, format, and then transfer your data over.

Do I need anything special to transfer the data over?
