  1. How can you make 1 big HDD using several HDD?


    Hi, I have like 10 external HDD from laptops, all sized 2.5", and they are 320GB, 500GB or 1TB. I use them to save photos and videos, but it's starting to get a little bit annoying to store my data in 10 different devices. I'm looking for something, like a dock station, where I can put 5 or 10 HDD inside and work with it as one unit.
    Is there anything like a "box" with one USB output that automatically mixes all the HDD's and transform them into one big storage device?

    I don't care about wireless connection to the data, I simply want a box that sums all the storage inside.

    I've seen in Amazon "HDD dock stations", but they are for 2 or maximum 4 HDD's, they are so expensive ($100 or more) and is not what I'm looking for. If I have to spend $150 for a 4 slot dock station, it's worthless, because I will be putting 500GB HDD, some 1TB, but in the end I'd get like 3-4TB. For that money I would buy directly a 4TB HDD and trash all these 500GB HDD.

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

    HDD Corrupt ?

    Hi,

    There are many possible reasons this issue is happening. We'd like to ask few questions below:

    • What is the brand name of you Hard Disk Drive?
    • How old is the HDD?
    Since you already tried multiple troubleshooting steps, we suggest visiting the manufacturer's website. Find and download a hard drive diagnostic software to help resolve the issue.

    Let us know how it goes.
