2 SSD Drive into 1

[lostsoul62]

I want to take 2 SSD Drive into 1 because my C drive is getting full and I have four 120 GB SSD Drives so instead of buying a 240 GB SSD Drive would it be OK to just combined 2 of my 120 GB SSD drives so not to spend money on another on?

Why not just move data?

You could make a couple of them into a RAID0 or JBOD volume so they logically appear as one drive, however if you have a drive failure you lose the data on both drives in RAID0 and a random set of data that you can't easily influence in JBOD.

You can't combine unless your motherboard supports raid 0 but wouldn't be a good choice just for data. Is your user folder data on main drive or do you have it on another drive? Pictures,music,documents folders from your user folder.

I said my C drive is 120 GB so I only have the System on that drive and my data on another drive. Are there people out there that put data on their C drive?

Hello:
I have a 128gb SSD HD in my computer, and I never had to run out of space yet. It is my system drive (Windows 10) also. I have some stuff on there like pictures for my desktop wallpaper and some documents. But mostly, the rest of my stuff like music, movies, other pictures, documents, sits on a 1 tb HD and the tb is partitioned into 4 separate drives. By the picture, I have still have 66gb free. And this drive is 5 yrs old.

I have 111 GB being used on my 120 GB SSD Drive and I only have the system on this drive which is Windows 7 and I took a good look at it and I can't figure out what to get rid of so what program should I use to free up some space?

Being used, or total volume size? A 120 GB SSD only partitions out to 111 GB as max capacity. If you ONLY have Windows on that drive and you get the red bar with under 1 GB free in My Computer then that's a huge problem.

You can use this utility to see what's sucking up all of your space, if it's just media files then drag them to the other drives.

I'll try the cleanup program. I went in and seen how much is really in the drive and it's 81 GB's so I don't know why Computer - Cdrive under properties is showing 111 GB's I wouldn't think that there would be that big of a difference. I've seen the red bar on other peoples drives and if that ever happen to me I would take care of it the same day.

If you go into "computer" and hover over C drive, you'll get a popup that says drive size and what free space is available. That blue bar will turn red when you are running out of space as well.
