Can I use Librarys in Win 7 to store torrents files on multiple HDDs?

[Joenaz2003]

First I'm running Win 7 and uTorrent 3.2.3. I have (3) 3TB HDDs dedicated to torrenting. They are all the same. At the moment they are spanned volumes. My torrents go in a downloading folder while downloading and then they auto move to a complete folder to seed.

I'm looking for a safer way to use the (3) HDDs as 1. I read somewhere you can add multiple drives to a Library in Win 7 to make it seem as though they are one drive. Is it possible to do this and point uTorrent to the Library? If so anyone have an idea or link how?

Thanks for your help

With your drives being spanned volumes already, there's nothing you need to do to get uTorrent to use them as such.

If you want "safer" you're going to need to re-do your drives as a RAID 5 array (losing 1 drive to recovery data for the array) That's it. uTorrent can't use libraries the way you want it to.

Thanks for the reply. That's pretty much what I figures after searching all morning. I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. Do you know off hand if I have to back up everything before converting the spanned drives to Raid 5. Again I would assume I do.

You do, because windows 7 doesn't support RAID 5 in its software. You need to use your controller's RAID system for that.

OK. Looks like i'll be shuffling things around for the rest of the day lol. Thanks for the help man. Much appreciated
