Cloning a RAID 0 set up to a single bootable drive

Mega-Japan · Aug 8, 2015

Hey everyone,

I ordered a new laptop (Gigabyte P35X v4) with 2 mSATA SSD's in RAID 0 (2x 250Gb) and a 2.5" 512Gb HDD. I would like to know if I can back up both RAID 0 drives into the 512Gb one and make it bootable. In the hypothetical scenario that one of my 250Gb drives fails, I could boot FROM the 512Gb back up one. Is this possible? If so, how? Which software could do exactly this? Thanks a lot in advance!

Any of the current imaging/cloning applications should do this.

But I question the benefit of the RAID 0 in the first place.

Yes, I have read that the benefits of having RAID 0 nowadays are questionable at best, yet manufacturers flashily advertise it. But I suppose since I'm not losing any space and I'm actually backing it up, I should be fine.

Just more stuff to break with no real benefit.
