Currently have one 160 Gb IDE hard drive and the OS on the C partition (10 Gb allocated) is getting squeezed (slow). Managed to free up about 1 Gig, but it’s still well under 30% free. The F partition (Data) has the other 150 Gb with about 34 Gb used. My thought is to add two 320Gb SATA drives and a SIIG, Inc. controller board supporting SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) and RAID 0 or 1. I used Macrium Reflect last night to Image the hard drive onto a Buffalo Linkstation NAS, and hope to install the control board and SATA drives, set them up for mirroring (RAID 1), then restore the IDE drive image to the first SATA drive. Question 1: Will this approach work? Question 2: Will I simply end up with the same problem? (ie the OS partition will still only be 10 Gb). And Question 3: Could I then change the partition sizes for the OS and the Data partitions?
Your help greatly appreciated.
