Raid 0 Set Up Guidance

Okay everyone, my plan for tonight is to set up new m17x up in Raid 0. Just want to go over this with knowledgeable people to make sure I am not missing anything.

I am planning on using the 500gig drive that came with the m17x and a second 500gig drive that I have.

I have made an image of my current OS state and saved it on two difference devices (as a fall back). I also have my Alien Respawn Disc's (as an emergency fall back).

So once I pop this second 500g drive in I will do Ctrl+I on the boot screen to initiate the Raid0 on the drives.

From there I will use the Windows Recovery Disk to boot up and attempt to restore my windows to its current from one of my images that I made. If this fails I will use Alien Respawn, and if this fails I wil just clean install.

Anyone have any thoughts on any steps i might be missing? or precautions I should add?

Thanks in advance.
