Question (hope I'm not derailing this thread too much).
I have an old Dell XPS tower that I'm not using. I'm thinking about turning this into an unraid server. The motherboard has 4 Sata ports and a couple of IDE. I currently have 1 Hitachi Deskstar 2tb drive with content all ready on it. It has about 250 GB free. I have a second (same drive) in the mail that should be here in a few days. I also have another 500GB drive that I could wipe to use for parity.
My main question is, how can I incorporate the drive that all ready has content? Will this work for unRaid or do I have to start with all clean drives?
