Now you have me confused
As AFAIK
RAID either mirrors duplicates discs, in case of failure RAID 0
Or spreads the data across drives for speed RAID 1
This means any particular file has data on both drives, no single file is on a single drive, it is in pieces on both drives
And then there is a raid version where you have RAID 0, And RAID 1
Where a set of drives act as one drive, and that is mirrored by another set of drives
But to have some discreet files on one drive and other files on another drive is NOT RAID at all
I have three external hard drives, with backup files and data storage they are not RAID
And I our the pc program have too remember what is what and what drive to use when backing up our saving new data
