Using Easy Migrate 7 to clone a raid 5 array to a single 3tb drive.
I currently have a raid 5 setup using 3x 1tb wd black drives. I would like to clone the data over to a single, brand new 3tb wd black drive.
In preparation, I have gone into windows disk management and converted the new 3 tb drive to a GPT disk, which then allowed it to recognize the full 3tb instead of 2tb.
When going through the automatic steps of cloning the raid volume to the 3 tb drive, Acronis still only shows the destination volume as 2 tb instead of 3.
Is there further preparation that needs to be done for this to work? Are there any problems with my wanting to clone a raid array to a single disk? Should I be doing it a different way?
Also, assuming this gets resolved and I successfully clone to the new drive, I just wanted to make sure I will be able to keep the original drive's letter name, thereby maintaining any project paths that I currently have. Will I have to give it a new drive letter during the cloning process, and then afterwards reassign the original letter once my raid array is removed?
Any advice is welcome. I can upload screenshots if necessary, but I think it's pretty cut and dry.
