I keep my work on a 4TB M2 SSD drive, and it's starting to fill up. So I picked up a second 4TB drive to stick in the extra M2 slot on my MOBO. I'd really like to just extend the storage of my "work" volume to 8TB, rather than adding another drive letter and splitting the files between the drives.

I know I can use Disk Management to extend the volume to use both disks, but my understanding is that if one disk fails, the whole volume disappears. So I'm wondering if there's a more crash-friendly option that won't require me to restore everything if one drive goes down.
