The time is coming when I will have to increase my hard drive storage. I could backup, replace the current drive with something larger, and then copy the backup to the new, larger drive.
Or I could add a second SATA drive. Is it possible to configure that second drive so that it seamlessly appears as an increase of size of the first drive?
