SSD and RAID 0+1 to a SSD and Single Volume

johnkyr · Jul 20, 2016

I'd like to convert my RAID 0+1 array to a single HDD drive but situation is more complicated because:

SSD drive is holding Windows 7-64bit plus very few programs
RAID is main Documents storage plus rest of the Programs.

Is it possible to convert RAID to a single drive and keep windows installation intact?

Thanks,
Ioannis

Just create an Image of that HDD RAID thing off to another drive.
Recreate on a different, non-RAID drive.

Or, seeing as this is merely a secondary drive, you might be able to just do a Copy to another drive, swap drive letters around, and carry on.
The OS being on the SSD should not care.

But you can't just convert it in place.

Thank you for your reply.

The My Documents folder and many of the installed programs are on the RAID. Is this a problem?

Also the OS now has integrated by installation, RAID drivers for this array. If I replace the array with a single drive, even with the same Drive letter, will it be OK?
