I have 5x 2 TB drives in a windows software raid 0 array that I want to move to a windows vm inside unraid, what is the best way to do that? I was thinking that I could shrink them to their minimum size inside windows by resizing the partition (they only have about 5TB total on them) and then using the dd command to clone them individually to img/iso (idk which type unraid uses for virtual disks) to a 5TB drive  and then formatting them in unraid (and adding a parity drive (unrelated)) and coppying the img/iso files to the disks themselves, increasing the size in the web console using this https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39731.0 and assinging them all to a win 10 vm. would this work? or would I lose all my data?

 

thx in advance

I dont quite know if i understand what you want to do but why dont you copy all the data from the windows array over the network to a share on the unraid server then access that share from the windows vm

the disks im cloning from are the destination (moving from normal pc to unraid), also I need them to be local to the vm
