never use SSD and raid 0, I like to know any way to divide SSD to two disks?
one for systm and one for data, and it is easy to ghost system drive and restore later.

Intel Rapid Storage -> just destroy the RAID, but be prepared to lose everything currently on the disk.
-
You could just partition the drive using a tool such as this one: Free Partition Magic alternative. Best Free Partition Manager Freeware for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 32 bit & 64 bit - EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition.. Then you don't have to lose your data nor lose the speed benefits of the raid.
-
You can even do this from within windows 7 using the disk management tool..... Just shrink the C drive and create a new D drive from the free space.

Hey OP, is there a reason you want to separate your two SSDs, most people here don't have problems besides the aforementioned higher chance of failing (just make backups a bit more frequently and use stuff like Dropbox or other online storage services to augment that)
As for backing up your Z, I'm not sure if this still works on a Z2, but pyr0 made this guide for a Z1:

Should still work, but no guarantees -
any way still keep raid 0, then using winpe to do partion job then recover from recovery disk? or does Z2's recovery has option to set C: as 50G?
BTW, does Z2 still have recovery disk? even for 128G Z2?
with raid 0 still able to using norton ghost? -
^why don't you tell everyone what you are looking to accomplish, and why, so we can better help you?

OK, I used to have two drives, one for system and apps around 50G and rest for data, I will perform ghost for SYS drive after apps installation and restore every 6 mths to clean the system drive to make it runs faster, for data drive, I will sync to my external HD every week. So can we do this for Z2?
-
Sounds like partitioning is the way to go - at least you can size the data and system drives the way you want.
Can Z2's SSD divided to two disk?
