    Is there any way I can clone 2 RAID 0 SSDs to another 2?
    Is cloning with conventional HDD cloning tools a bad idea?

    Thanks!

    I have wondered the same thing before, but i have no idea. I would look into cloning a RAID0 HDD array first, if you can't do for HDDs, then i doubt you can do it for SSDs either. If you find a procedure for HDDs, then the same can likely be applied to SSDs while taking care to preserve alignment.

    Hardware (firmware) or software RAID? If it's hardware RAID you clone the partitions on the array in the same way you would clone any other partitions, since the array just appears as a normal drive. There's absolutely nothing special about it, and any cloning tool will work.
