I use snapraid, and it's been good to me. But I've just upgraded and I'm not sure how to go about it.

I bought a new mobo with 8 sata ports and a new 10tb WD red.I run Windows 10.

I now have: 2x10tb and 4x4tb
and an assortment of 3 and 2 tb, but if I can just get parity for the 10tb and 4tb drives, I'll be happy.

What I want: 1x10tb for parity. 3 data drives: 1x10tb, 2x4tb, 2x4tb. This would make throwing in another 10tb later a piece of cake.

But how to get the 2x4tb as a single drive in the safest way? I felt mounting as a folder would be the safest bet, but snapraid doesn't recognize it. I could make a span or striped volume, but I'm worried that this compounds the risk of data los
