The Gold Play button. I would sell it on eBay. Cha-ching!

Thank you

Can I make one big drive this way?

Does this allow redundancy?

Hello Linus Tech Forum. I'm new here, watched for a while now but first time forumster. I recently purchased about 45 different USB hard drives at an estate sale. They range in capacity from 60 GB to 5 TB and the mean is ~1 TB per drive. All different brands and speeds too. I can't run them all with their own drive letter since I can only have 26, and I don't really like those folder things you can set up with NTFS. Is there some way I can set these all up in one huge partition? Like a sort of RAID, not a RAID. A RAID-like setup that is optimized as best as possible for dealing with lots and lots of drives of different sizes and speeds. And that has a lot of redundancy, since I have no idea how reliable each drive is. Something where I can plug in some 45ish TB of drives and get like 15TB-22.5TB of space on a single partition. I don't care if it's slow, or inefficient, I paid $10 for nearly 45 TB in drives and I want an easy, single drive letter mass storage where I can drop files and not need to worry about the details. Please help me! How can I do this?
