Some great advice here!
What RAID level would you recommend for simply maximizing the hard disk
space I have available?
RAID-0 striping. Note that it gives you no redundancy or protection.
This is just my personal backup machine and
will consist of two drives, so I don't need kick ass performance, and I
don't need my files mirrored. I take it that striping is what I need to
look at? RAID-0? Can I setup striping without reformatting, or only
mirroring?
If you plan to use RAID most effectively, plan to reformat.
Do not attempt to setup RAID without having backups.
However, you can glue two disks together without reformatting using something
called "concatenation", but it doesn't perform as well as reformatting using
striping.
