That's raid set to JBOD. JBOD is 'just a bunch of disks'.
If you are running a 500gb and a 250gb in raid 0 you will have a total capacity of 500gb as each disk will contribute 250gb to the raid.

Someone has to save the masses from your thoughts! [emoji14]Thanks for explaining that better than I did.
Depends on the raid setting:
Raid 0: ~1.5TB
Raid 1: 750GB
Raid greater than 1: not capable, need more drives

Specify the drive! If you tell it to wipe everything it will wipe everything, including your OS.

Sounds right. You just want to make sure it only wipes the specified drive. BleachBit is the preferred drive cleaner of the DNC for a reason. It works. LOL

Well you guys a doing a great job at it. So since the questions are so random here, i have another. here is my case and how i plan to set it up come wednesday night.
Now here is my question, looks aside, is this a practical place to put my drive cage since i dont have the room inside the case? And would the fan on the far left be doing anything since the cage in on top of it? I know it aint pretty but we have gone way past that point...

I'll dig out a picture of my first case-the one I cut a hole in the side panel of because it's the only place my radiator would fit in that shoebox. LOL The fan on the left might help keep the temp down on the bottom HDD. Easy enough to try it. Do it that way and check the drive temp in HWMonitor, then unplug that fan. Or check it before you put the fan in and after.
Update: Got it! I had to mount the rear exhaust fan outside because it wouldn't fit inside. Had a snap on filter/cover because I wrecked two fans sticking my fingers in it the and broke fan blades. LOL The ATX mobo went from the top to the floor of the case.
Here we go:

Well the point isnt even to cool the drive, its more to act as an exhaust for the case. But i guess it can double duty as cooler for the drives. This computer really is becoming a Frankenstein. Ill have to dremel a small hole in the rear side panel for the power and sata cables to run. I can run these sata 2 drives off sata 3 cables right? i know i wont get the performance boost but it will work right?

I don't know of a reason it won't. My cables may have been marked "2" and "3", but in the box they're laying in now they sure aren't.

I may have tossed the case. The insides ended up going in a build for my daughter. When it finally got a new case it had a Asus M5A99-FX Pro mobo, FX 6350 chip, * GB og G. Skill Ripjaws (4x2) A Hauppauge TV tuner card, R7 260x, 2 HDDs, Corsair h100i, and a blower fan in an expansion slot. All in a tiny mATX case. After cleaning everything up (except the blower fan) it went in a black Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case. That was my daughter's first build. She's getting the GPU upgraded soon to a RX 480 8 GB.
