So I have a main SSD 128GB and I would like to set up 2 1TB drives as the main storage drive/ game drive in raid 0. Im thinking I should be able to do this without reinstalling windows correct? Also I have an MSI mobo z77A GD65 gaming. I cant find any raid drivers on the driver disk?

If Windows was installed when only the SSD was present, then there are no system files on the hard drives, you can install them.

I would advise against using RAID for one reason - if one drive fails - they are both gone. You would be better off using two drives and assigning the two locations for data. Just my opinion....

I will be using a smaller 500GB driver for data backup thinkgs like pictures and music. I want the raid to get faster load times and such. I hate load screens lol. If they fail its just re installing games no big deal
