    Which computer do you have?
    GPT and RAID are referring to two different things. You set your SATA connection type in RAID and when you format your hard drive you need to do GPT.

    Clevo P150EM, I know it's different, but can I put 2 SSD's in RAID in GPT format ? Can windows 8 detect this RAID ?

    You dont want to put RAID on the P150EM because the most you could do is put a SSD in the primary bay then another in the optical bay drive. Those are SATA III and SATA II ports so even if you did put them in RAID 0 your primary drive would be waiting for the one in the optical bay drive. Its best to just put a SSD in the primary bay with no RAID.
