What a coincidence :-)

 
In Linux, we can have volumes spanning multiple physical drives, using
technologies like LVM (not to be confused with LLVM).
 
Not sure that Windows has anything like LVM, though.
 

You would need to find a server group, to discover best practice.
There is Storage Spaces. and Veritas Dynamic Disk allows some
virtual volumes to be constructed.

You can't really ask an AI to set up your disks either,
without answering questions about what the end use is. You
can include parity disks in an archival pool, but for write speed
adding parity would be a mistake.

It's more fun unwinding those, than preparing one. As you
would expect, it makes a mess.
