I have a HornetTek dual-bay external hard drive case (SATA II and USB 2 which are adequate for my needs). There is only a single USB port. My web searches taught me that some multi-drive external enclosures are configurable to have the two drives in a RAID or work individually. I think this model has that capability but the one-page 'manual' has no information on that. I did not see a switch on the inside of the case so I assume being able to mount each drive on a separate mount point is done with software.
My searches for how to do this in linux found only information on booting a linux system from an external hard drive, using one disk or the other. I suppose that I could get the UID for each drive (they're now in separate enclosures which is why I want to consolidate them) and assign each to a different /mnt/ subdirectory (e.g., the existing /mnt/hd/ and a new /mnt/hd1/, each with a different nickname) if that would be the most parsimonious way to do this. As always, I'm open to learning how best such things are done.
