Hi everyone,
I've had a RAID for the past decade or so and I've grown to despise it. I want to toss all the data on it onto a single disk (I've bought a large WD Gold) since I've learned the hard way that RAID beats the shit out of disks, I'm sick of replacing them.
There is about 6GB of data on the RAID. Everything mission-critical is backed up, but I want to just copy the stuff off it, no fuss. I've put the new drive into an external enclosure (space limitations in my main PC another reason why I don't want to deal with having 4 disks).
What's a good utility to do this with? DiskGenius seems to be free, but I can't tell if it's reliable since it's the only free option. But if it's good I'll go with it, and take MD5 sums before and after to make sure everything matches.
Thanks a lot for help!
