I cloned a Raid 0 to single disk.
Now I want to disconnect Raid 0 disks without erasing data (just in case).
Only disconnecting does`nt work. Deactivating in BIOS also not.
What am I missig ?

thanks

I cant really get what you are willing to achieve.
If you want to delete raid 0 here is the solution... but you will loose data from those 2 drives... since it works that way!

If you cloned the matrix, you have that data on that cloned HDD.
1 - you need to unplug both raid drives and check that this cloned one will boot correctly
2 - unplug that cloned drive and plug the raid drives
3 - go into Matrix Manager (Ctrl+I while RAID screen shows up during post)
4 - delete the raid volume.
5 - done
