So I just bought a new computer and I have a ton of files from which I'm gonna transfer over. I have about 10 TB honestly which I am gonna transfer 1 by 1 with my trustworthy flashdrive.

 

Anyway, I wanna make sure I never lose my info so I bought 4 6TB HDDs and I'm gonna set them up into RAID 0. How do i do this?

 why not just connect the 2 computers... and transfer..instead of a usb drive

and 4 drives in raid 0 is a bad idea

Are you trolling? If you're not, then I don't suggest over 2 drives in raid 0 and, seriously, you're gonna transfer 10TB with a flash drive? xD that's what makes me think you're trolling

raid 0 is for speed raid 1 is more for safety dude......do not do raid 0 or you may just be screwing yourself.

Those 4x 6TB HDD's should be configured in RAID 5 or RAID 10 for best reliability. Storing it in RAID 0 is asking for you to lose all your backups.

Hey Xv Ghostly vX,
 
For the transfers, you can always hook up the two computers over the network or with a cable and use a third-party software that safely copies and pastes files. With simple copy/paste files might be corrupted and lost with such large amounts of data. You can also use a backup software that would create a backup of those files which is essentially a full copy of them and paste on another place. I could suggest checking out WD SmartWare: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=7XgpNF
 
Regarding the RAID array, I wouldn't recommend using RAID0 for safety. Due to its nature, if one of the four drives fails, you would lose all data on all drives. It is designed for speed, not redundancy. I would recommend using either RAID5 or RAID10 for those four drives. What brand and model drives are you using?
