Hey,

I have currently a 1 TB hard drive but it is super slow and I collecting money to upgrade my pc. I am thinking to buy 2 M.2 of 240 GB each as it is the best M.2 deals I am getting (I live in India)

I am thinking to run them in raid 0  but I don't know How can I clone my hard drive to M.2 and then boot from it.

 

One more Question

If I make raid 0 in windows then what will show up in bios. I mean does bios also think that they are same drive.

Shorter life span. Would definitely recommend grabbing a 500gb ssd at least. You have more longevity

depending on the system, they'll always show up as multiple disks in BIOS, but once you reach windows you'll only see the single storage volume (and as multiple disks in device manager)

If I have raid 0 set up from wich ssd should I boot in bios
