Hey guys, got a few questions, and I know this is the perfect place to look for the right answer.
Just ordered a couple identical 120GBs SSD that I intend to use in RAID 0 for my OS, but due to limited supply, I had to purchase one from Newegg and one from Amazon. The drive from Newegg arrives tomorrow, but the one from Amazon will take at least a couple weeks to arrive.
Knowing me, I'm gonna want to start using the first drive as soon as I get my hands on it, and this is my first time using a RAID 0 setup by adding a second drive as opposed to enabling it to two identical drives at once.
My questions are: Do I need to format and install everything again once my 2nd drive arrives and I enable RAID 0?
Is there a way to just transfer the data equally between both drives without having to format?
If this cannot be done, can I just clone the first drive to a backup drive an then back again to the RAID 0 drives once enabled? Is that even recommended when using SSDs?
As I said, this is my first time using RAID 0 for my OS, and I feel like a noob Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you very much!
