I installed Windows 7 Pro on a samsung evo 250gb ssd and now want to create a 1tb raid 0 array with 2 samsung evo 500gb drives. (I understand raiding ssds will not yield significant benefits in terms of random read/writes. I want to improve the sequential read/write performance of my system.) Is this possible without reinstalling Windows? I flashed the bios on my mobo (Asus z97-a), and it didn't change anything. I can setup the raid 0 array but then can't boot. If I put the system back to ahci, it boots, but I can't see the raid array in Windows. ARRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realize that I can reinstall Windows, but would rather avoid that outcome. Is there a slick way that I can clone the boot ssd and then put everything to RAID and load back the OS? Alternatively, I can whip out a handgun and shoot my computer. However, my neighbors might object, so I'll refrain for now.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
