I am considering "upgrading" from W7 Pro to W10, perhaps in Oct or Nov. I have a RAID 1 in my PC using two 1TB HDDs. I will probably stick with 1TB. I use my PC much less often now, both due to time issues and that I get almost everything done on my 6+
To"clone" the drives in case of worst case scenario, I can:
-Pull one of the HDDs, set aside as the "insurance" and replace. Wait until new drive is mirrored.
-Buy cloning s/w or use freeware to a single HDD. Which?
The situation gets a little muddled by my considering using the opportunity to move to a RAID 5 array with 3 or 4 HDDs, hoping for some speed improvements, or RAID 10 with 4 HDDs.
Any suggestions? I am not a heavy or power user by any means. Never even got around to using the video editing s/w I got.
