Im looking at buying a SSD to add to my existing Hdds that are in RAID 0. My Main focus is speed in general but I dont want to lose any data or throw of booting

thank you for getting back to me on this subject . I did purchase a ssd but didn't end up following through with what i asked i realized during setup id have to start fresh or use the ssd as a boot drive
 
Yup, unfortunately it looks like this. I know you don't want to mess up with the booting and stuff, but my suggestions is that you use the SSD as a main (OS) drive and keep the HDDs in RAID 0. Unfortunately you'll probably still have to backup your data somewhere and redo the RAID so that you can get the OS out of it. And when installing the new Windows on the SSD, please remember to have all other drives disconnected.
