Is it safe? Kind of but not really. Raid 0 is pretty dumb to do in general since most programs do not benefit from it. Having windows on a raid 0 is a Horrible idea as you now have 2 points of failure for your operating system. Id just have one drive for OS and Raid 0 for a scratch drive

It's safe as long as you keep backups of any important data on the volume or if you don't care about your data. You'd be much better off just getting a single NVMe drive to run Windows from. Outside of very specific uses you won't notice a difference from the increased speed of multiple drives.

Just religiously back up any data you care about.

 

It's called RAID 0 because you get zero of your files back if a drive dies.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.
