Use Of 2xlacie D2 Quadras 2 Tb Set Up As Raid1 (mirroring)
After clocking up 860 GB of Video clips on 1 LaCie d2 quadra 2 TB I backed it up on another of the same by copying the content. Only then I found out that 2 LaCie d2 quadras can be RAID 1 configured.
Can I now continue to use both HDD in a RAID 1 arrangement, WITHOUT losing the 860 GB on each, or do they have to be formatted first (memory erased), before that is possible?
Thank you
