    4 x samsung ssd's Raid0, would I break the array and re-build after the erase?

    Do you really have to unconnect the drives when doing this?

    Originally 18 months ago I clean installed w7. It's a mess now so doing a new clean install. Have successfully hacked the bios.
    SSDs probably a mess.
