Hi,

I have three external USB HD with the following letter configuration:

1) 750Gb (E)
2) 1Tb (F)
3) 1.5Tb (G)

Can Windows (7 64bit), i.e., assign only one disk letter for all three units in order to show only on disk drive? Or, is this even possible with USB devices?!

Thanks,

Diogo

You can span a "drive" over several drives to make it look like one but the drives need to be empty.
I would no suggest doing it as if one drive comes unplugged you could make all 3 inaccessible.

Why do you want it that way?

thank you for your reply.

Because all three drives have basically the same content and instead of having to look for "stuff" in 3 different drives, I want to have everything in just one place.

Can this be done?

You have enough space to create a spaned drive, but i don't see the utility.

 

If you want create the spaned driver, the 3 disk must be dynamic and the letter for this must be static.
