Not sure it was spot on for my solution, but will know soon. Closing question until I can actually test it.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a HP ML110 G6 with one drive in it. &nbsp;I have a second drive I would like to add as a Raid 1 configuration.<br />
<br />
The raid option appears on the motherboard and we are on the latest bios.<br />
<br />
So, can I plug in the second drive, boot the machine<br />
then reboot, enable the raid on the motherboard and congfigure for Raid?<br />
Or is this unbelievably stupid as I will lose all of the data on drive 0?<br />
Identical Sata drives. <br />
<br />
I have searched and found issues close, but not quite like this.<br />
<br />
Has anyone done this?<br />
Thanks

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.
