Hi Folks,

I'm considering exchanging my two internal HDs in RAID-1 to SSDs in RAID-0. The HDD is a real performance killer compared to SSDs...

I know this sounds terribly silly, but I would hate to have to re-install the OS (Win7 64 Bit) and applications because I have so much stuff installed

 

including programs which require lots and lots of configuration... .

Any recommendations on how to achieve such a migration with as little pain as possible? Or are there no alternatives to re-installing everything anew?

The Intel Rapid Storage Technology application on my laptop says in the Help File that this is possible. However I do not see the options to change the volume type...

What is the best way of making this migration without a new install of OS and software?

Cheers,

 

Mario
