Hey Everyone,
My client wants his OS + his personal files that are on the same hdd cloned to a raid 1 configuration with two ssd. This is what I had in mind for the step by step process.

1) Place both drives in the system.
2) Clone the old hdd to ONE of the new ssd's via clonezilla.
3) boot from the new ssd.
4) In the OS place both ssd's in raid 1 through disk manager.

Will this work?

He also has a backup drive for backups if that will effect anything

If he is doing a software RAID then yes that is exactly how you would do it. You would have to convert the disk to Dynamic disk then make the RAID 1.

If it was a Hardware RAID then you would want to make the RAID 1 THEN clone from OS to RAID 1.
