I just got two new SSD's and am putting them in RAID 0. I got windows 8 (on the single SSD) bootable with RAID instead of AHCI (easy money in windows 8), but the samsung data migration software won't run because it doesn't realize the RAID array is made up of evo's. I should have seen that coming.

 

Anyways, is there a free software that will clone to a RAID array?

Assuming you're using the controller on your motherboard, I beleive you would need the pre-install or F6 drivers for the controller. This would allow the utility to detect the drive as one drive, instead of separate disks.

 

The fact that it is a RAID array should be transparent to the software. You just need to load the driver for your controller so its recognized properly
