Ghosting OS raid array

[Nick1881]

I have my OS on 2 WD drives now and I have 2 sammy SSD's on the way.

What is the best way to do it?

Currently on my UD5 I'm using

Sata 0-1 - WD Intel raid 0 array (2 x 250Gb)
Sata 2-4 - 3 x 500Gb storage drives (not raid)
Sata 5 - DVD drive

So all 6 normal sata ports are in use.

There are 4 Gigabyte sata ports too but it seemed when I connected to these last time the drives weren't recognised, not sure why?

Any help or advice would be great.

Thanks

Does it matter what ports I use for the OS raid array?

If not I could disconnect 2 of my storage drives, put the ssd's on ports 2 & 3, create the raid array, ghost the OS from the old array and remove the old array then use ports 0 & 1 for the 2 storage drives I disconnected.

I can't remember how much space I have on my storage drives and how big my OS is at the moment.

Could I make a partition on one of them if there is room (think there is) ghost the OS on then plug the ssd's in and ghost it back?

What software should I use? Last time I used Norton ghost.
