RAID 0 question

Hi,

I thought about buying an additional 250GB SSD for my PC. I already have a Samsung 840 250GB and I'd like to know if it would be possible to setup raid 0 between these two drives (samsung 250GB 840 and 840 evo). I would also like to know if that would require me to reinstall windows or if it's possible to transfer the files somehow.

Case: 650D CPU: i5 4670K GPU: GTX 770 Gaming @1306MHz Motherboard: MAXIMUS VI Hero PSU: AX760 CPU Cooler: H100i RAM: 8GB Vengeance Pro @1866MHz Storage: 840 250GB SSD / 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.14

you can set them to raid, but you will lose all of data and you need to re-install windows.

Will I have to buy a new license ?

No, you can use same, if it says that license have been used too many times then contact to Microsoft (that happened to me)

You can RAID 0 them, but you will be limited by the speed of the 840.

 

Also, why RAID 0? It won't do you any good in day-to-day activities. If you want to invest your money, I would recommend either a larger SSD for your boot drive or use the second SSD as a backup.
