Hello Experts -<br />
Can someone help me with choosing the best way to &quot;clone&quot; RAID1 drive configuration on an HP desktop?<br />
- I need to replace mirrored drives with new larger WD red drives in mirror config as well<br />
- also need to setup new red drives in a mirror mode<br />
- must retain all configuration/data so our executive will not loose any time reconfiguring any applications<br />
- needs to be transparent to the end user like nothing happened<br />
- I will do this process overnight so I have a luxury of about 12 hours<br />
- have an HP Compaq 8200 elite convertible minitower<br />
- C drive is composed of mirrored 2x wd velociraptors with about 300 GB of data out of 500 GB<br />
Thank you in advance.<br />

How to clone data from a mirrored WD drives (enterprise) to a new pair of WD drives on HP desktop?

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Desktops

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
