Adding a second SSD - need to reinstall windows?

Hi,

I've got a machine running a single Crucial M4 128gig and i'm contemplating adding a second one for Raid0. Would it be possible to make an image of my current install and then deploy that onto both the drives in raid0?

I'm basically looking for a way to add the second drive without having to reinstall Windows 7, if possible..

Thanks guys

Yep. Either restore from Windows backup or use a tool like Acronis.

Thanks guys. Not sure now if I want to go ahead with it due to hearing that Trim won't work in raid0. Also heard something about the performance gains not being great for use as an OS drive. It will have my games on it though..
