I currently have a 400GB hard drive, which I use as my primary hard drive. I currently backup the most important files, but would like to have RAID 1 to keep everything safe in case of a hard drive failure. However, I was wondering, if I were to buy another 400GB hard drive and setup a RAID 1 array, would the data on my current drive stay in tack or do I lose all of the data by creating a RAID 1 array?
If the data remains, how do I let the computer know which drive I want to use as the source (as it could be possible that I want it the other way around, where I use the blank drive as the source and it deletes all data from my current drive, the computer doesn't know).
I am going to be setting up RAID through the BIOS.
Thanks for all of your help!
