Hi mates,

My PC has a single 12TB standalone drive and RAID 1 with 2x1,5TB. I store the important data on the RAID 1 and it is now full. I am planning to buy a 22TB and I want to create a second RAID 1 array with the 12TB and the 22TB drive.

Anyone knows if with Intel RST software I can do the creation of a 12TB RAID 1 array, while at the same time allowing the 10TB of unused space on the new drive to be available?

I know that it will allow the creation of a 12TB RAID 1 and I should be able to create this RAID1 from a single drive without losing data. I just don't know if it will allow me to use the remaining space on the larger drive.
