    The Acer Predator 17 ships with two SSD's in RAID 0 and from what I gathered, you cannot disable RAID through the Bios. In other words it is locked to RAID.

    I'm not too worried about losing data if the RAID fails since all sensitive data will be stored on the spinning disk. What I am worried about is if I decided to remove both of these SSD's to install one large SSD. Being how the Bios is locked into RAID, will it allow be to do a fresh install of windows onto a single SSD? Will it try to create a RAID with the 1 terabyte spinning drive?
