The last couple of days i noticed that one of my harddrives in a Raid0 array started making ticking noises at random times and the acces time to the drive would sometimes be more then 25 second while at the same time the drive was making consistent ticking noises, all sings of a bad harddisk to me, also crystal disk mark showed a warning but the drive still works so no data is lost yet.

Now my question is can i just move half of the raid 0 to another disk, like sync the old drive with my new drive or something while all 3 harddrives are plugged in? or do i have to make a full backup from my entire raid volume?

You can't just swap drives in a RAID 0.
Back up the entire thing (if still possible).
Build a new RAID 0 with known working drives.
Restore.

There is no simple swapping of individual drives.

how would i go about doing this? just make a image of the bad disk and burn that image to the new disk and rebuild the array from that? if so what software should i use for that? I have setup the raid from the bios and most programs see both disks as one physical disk

No, you make a backup of the entirety of the data, on all drives. The whole volume. A RAID 0 is seen as a single volume by the OS. You can't split it out on individual drives.

What software? It depends on what you want to protect, and what is on it.
If you want just your personal data, copy those files off to somewhere else.
If you want the whole thing, and imaging tool like Macrium Reflect of Acronis TrueImage. Save that whole image off to somewhere else.


A RAID 0 should never ever be run without a full, tested backup plan in place and operating.
