I have 2 HDDs and one SSD in my server.
Currently, Windows is still running there. I've mirrored the two HDDs using Partition Manager.
But now I want to switch to Linux.
Will the RAID configuration remain simple? Or do I need to do something special?
Thanks in advance for all answers!

Loading...Why does copying to the second external drive take longer than to the first? The copy is complete using VLC. I put it on a 4 TB Seagate external drive, and it copies immediately. The second external drive, with a 16 TB drive, takes almost an hour. Why?
I purchased an external SSD card from Intenso and regularly use Ubuntu Live on it (without persistence). Is this a concern for the card due to wear and tear, or is it not subject to stress?
Hello I have an external hard drive from Seagate, something with expansion. When I first connected it, the following files were already there: Seagatte, Start_Here_Maxmapp, *_~, .VolumeIcon.icns, .VolumeIcon.ico, Autorun.inf, Start_Here_Win-exe, Warrenty.pdf I've already moved some photos and so on over there. As far as I have found out through research, these files are there to,…
Hello, I just got out my old Windows XP PC because I wanted to play some old-school gaming again. Unfortunately, Windows XP is corrupted, so it won't boot. The hard drive works, but I don't know how to reinstall it. I'll probably have to delete it and reinstall it somehow. I still have the CD…
Memory cleanup, reformat? Clean Windows Thumbnail Cache?
The RAID software is not available to you.
However, that it is “only” a RAID 1 (mirror), it doesn’t matter in the end.
You can completely delete a HDD in an emergency. The data will remain on the second HDD.
You can then rebuild the new RAID 1 software under Linux.
Would recommend the Proxmox hypervisor as an OS.
Or, of course, you put Unraid or TrueNas on your server.
Do not know me 100% with RAID, but it depends on whether it is a hardware or software RAID.
At a hardware RAID, you need to see that all components work in the new OS and you set everything up as before.
With a software RAID, your OS takes over RAID management, which is why you need to reconfigure it in your new OS.
You use a software RAID.
This is not easy in the new OS. I’d format all hard drives except for one. Because they’re only mirrored. Then you can set up a new RAID software in your linux operating system and mirror it again.
If you had a hardware RAID, the configuration remained as it would be stored on the RAID controller.
