Hello
Noob ahead, beware ^^

So, I have two 850 Pro SSD (128GB) and I'm about to Raid0 them and install Win 8 Pro on the volume, but I worry about partition misalignement.
I've read on another forum that a way to avoid it would be to first install Windows on the first SSD, then on the second one, and then.. I don't know.. create the array and format the volume by reinstalling Windows on it ?

If someone could tell me what I have to do and in which order, it would be appreciated, thanks

RAID 0, AKA scarey RAID.
Just install them as a RAID.

Installing them separately will get you just that 2 separate installations.

Why do you want to RAID0 two SSDs? You won't see any performance benefit.

I wouldn't RAID them either.
The risk is no ware near the benefit.
