    Hey I just got my m17x and I ordered it as raid 0 and i got raid 1 sadly. Can anyone show me a guide or simple instructions. I know how to do it via raid array bios but that wipes my OS and hard drives. Is there any way to avoid that, thanks.

    If the total amount of data on your array is less than any one of the drives, then you might be able to use a tool like Ghost and make an image, then restore it after you reconfigure to RAID 0. You cannot, AFAIK, reconfigure RAID without losing all of your data.
