Setting up raid 0

[roqueg]

Hello Linus  I would like to know if I can set up raid 0 with a existing SSD that already has data on it with the exact same, and a new SSD ?  Both SSD's are both Samsung 850 EVO's 500 gb.

you will need to copy your data to another drive so both the drives are empty, then you create the raid and move the files back on the raid

Hello Linus

yeah, hi...

Both drives will be wiped when the RAID array is created. You will need to backup any data that you want to keep.

Thank you  Mikat for solution and feed back.  Now I know how to do it.  I just thought there might be a easier way.
