RAID on RAID help

[allhomme]

HI there,

I have 2x 250Gb HDD in RAID0 mode and I have a 500Gb SSD. I would like to configure the 2x 250Gb to RAID2 my SSD.

Can I just go to Windows disk manager click click click to RAID them or I need to do something funky?

Can't, if you do RAID it would be for all the HDD and SDD
so you have to decide which to use.
Windows disk manager cannot do RAID,
for you RAID you need to do two things depending on the RAID
hardware:

1) Go to BIOS and wait for the RAID screen to pop and configure from there.
2) Install the RAID controller software like Intel Rapid technology.
This software will help to check and ensure that the array is
working properly and if any HDD fails it will prompt you.

Just curious who configure RAID for you?
If you don't know than where did the RAID 0 come from?

Don't confuse windows raid and motherboard raid they are diff.

Raid is best to be setup with same HDD size and brand.

Since your HDD is 250 and ssd is 500 unlikely u can raid

I did the RAID 0 myself in Win 8 disk manager. I'm thinking is it possible to configure my RAID0 HDD to RAID2 my SSD

The HDD is 2x 250Gb in RAID0. Windows show me 500Gb
