Hi, I am planning to Raid 0 two Corsair GTX neutron 120GB SSD on my Asus Rampage IV Extreme motherboard but i am wondering if I could reverse the Raid 0 and use them as 2 separate SSD or not? I am aware about the data lost which is not a problem for me.
Thanks.

Yes, it is totally reversible. Keep in mind you'll not be able to access any data off the drives after the fact, so backup any data you want to keep before separation.

No.

Once you setup RAID 0, when you undo it it'll wipe both drives clean. You can of course copy everything to a secondary drive, and once you split them up just add data back in, but there's no way to preserve data directly.

This happens because of the way data is split on RAID 0, and it's split in such way that reading from just one drive is impossible.
