Alright everyone, I am learning every day and seem to be making progress on the implementation of my first system (thanks in large part to this forum). Here's my latest question. I have 2 4tb WD purple drives in my PC dedicated to video storage in addition to my system SSD. I have BI writing to the SSD new file until it reaches 50gb and then pushing the files to the first purple drive F. I would like advice on a way to have the files from drive F automatically copied over to drive G once F fills up. Preferably with the oldest files being sent to G first and followed chronologically. My thought is thatby doing this, it will give me twice the time worth of video. Is there any type of tool for this already available? Any ideas?

windows 10?
why not use storage spaces and create a single 8TB pool from the two 4TB drives? KISS

Getting comfortable
How about putting both drives in a RAID 0 configuation. Performance would be great but there would be no redundacy.

yes, but it's video data right? If you are looking for backup or protection from theft, I suggest looking into putting a drive into a closet for protection and syncing to it.
