I recently purchased a server that was advertised as 2TB (2 1TB drives) in size, when I use it it reports only one of the drives, I would like to be able to use both as if one drive. here is the specs...

    sudo lshw -C disk
  *-disk
   description: ATA Disk
   product: TOSHIBA DT01ACA1
   vendor: Toshiba
   physical id: 0.0.0
   bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0
   logical name: /dev/sda
   version: MS2O
   serial: 13EJ81XPS
   size: 931GiB (1TB)
   capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos
   configuration: ansiversion=5 signature=0005b3dd
  *-disk
   description: ATA Disk
   product: TOSHIBA DT01ACA1
   vendor: Toshiba
   physical id: 0.0.0
   bus info: scsi@4:0.0.0
   logical name: /dev/sdb
   version: MS2O
   serial: 13OX3TKPS
   size: 931GiB (1TB)
   capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos
   configuration: ansiversion=5 signature=00030e86

and 

    fdisk -l

Disk /dev/md2 doesn't contain a valid partition table

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes

Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition table

is it possible to mount both drives to say /Home/ so I would have 2TB of usable space?
