I am planning to put aside 2 functional working WD500GB (Raid-0) in WD MBWEII and replace them with 2x1.5TB or even 2x2TB WD drives.
I don't want to put them in Raid-0 (non-Raid) or in Raid-1 (reduce capacity) nor as I understand correctly, can't be in linear-Raid (>2TB) because of limitation of the processor in MBWEII bluering being 32bit processor. So I am willing to use them as 2 independent drives with 2 PUBLIC shares. The questions are:
1) This is possible right?
2) Do need all 4 partions to be created and restored on each drive?
I have been reading up on most subjects regarding Backup Image, Restore procedure and Install Clean HDD, but seem to be lost & confused most of the time. Seem that some have try this by mistake by procedure cut&paste below and exactly is what I want. This would work right?
Thank you for reading….

In order to be able to use my 2 disks, i modified my file /etc/fstab to mount the /dev/sdb4 in /shares/internal2 which i created especially for (and created a PUBLIC2 inside to reconize the shared disk easily).
and i modified the samba /var/oxsemi/shares.inc configuration file adding :
[PUBLIC]
path=/shares/internal/PUBLIC
force user=www-data
valid users=www-data ANGEL
write list=www-data ANGEL
guest ok=Yes
[PUBLIC2]
path=/shares/internal2/PUBLIC2
force user=www-data
valid users=www-data ANGEL
write list=www-data ANGEL
guest ok=Yes
