Hi friends,

Just a quick question - I want to run a RAID 0 setup on my rig but I'm not sure how to move my storage around prior. I originally had just one 128gb pny ssd with my stuff all on an external hard drive, but I recently added a WD 1TB Blue HDD (for mass storage and steam) and then another 128gb pny ssd for RAID 0 for OS and small files. Thing is, I have my OS on the first ssd and I know that doing raid setups will delete the drive. So, how can I move windows around such that I can get this raid setup? I just recently dove into RAID stuff so feel free to explain it to me like I'm 5. Thanks!
 
Solution
Before you go down that SSD + RAID 0 path, read this all the way through:

Doing RAID 0 on SSD is a pointless waste. You gain very little, but have a lot to loose (with raid 0 if you loose one drive or partial corruption then the data on both drives is shot)

Just let windows give both of them a drive letter and install your games or large programs to the second SSD drive.
