I currently have my Lightroom folders on and OWC 4M drive. This is 4x 4TB NVME drives set up as two raid 1. In total I have 2x4tb drive space mirrored as back up to 2x4tb nvmes. I thought 8TB would last a long time but, of course it doesn't. I have purchased an OWC Thuderbolt 4 housing with 4 x18TB HD drives set up as at RAID 5 for a total of 54TB drive space with one disk redundancy.

 

My plan is to:

 

1. Transfer my Libraries from the NVME drives to the Raid 5 54TB drive.

2. Reinitialize the 4x4TB NVME drives as a raid 0, 16TB drive- Giving me more space.

3. Transfer the libraries back to the 16TB raid 0 NVME drive to work from and use the larger raid 5 HD drive as back up.

 

Succinctly, can anyone tell me how to do this effeciently and safely? 

 

DO I:

 

1. Drag the libraries within lightroom to the new drive.

2. veryify that LR can see them and they work.

3. Reinitilize the NVME as a raid 0, 16TB drive.

4. Enter lightroom and drag them back to that drive?

 

Thank you!

Do not drag large amounts of photos within LrC. Use your operating system to do this, and re-connect in LrC.
