Hi All,

I have a laptop with an SSD and 2 x WD Black 750GB drives.

I want to remove one of the WD's. At the moment they are in RAID 0.

How do I get Win 8 to remove the RAID and see them as 2 separate disks?

TIA.
 
I think if I remember correctly you should during the boot process have the option to press Ctrl & I which take you into the RAID menu were you can add and delete the RAID array.

Just make sure you bakup your data!
 
You'll need to break the pack from within the RAID BIOS as RJC said. Unfortunately breaking a RAID 0 pack will also mean you'll have to reinstall Windows, so it may be best to create a clone of your current windows installation before doing anything drastic! Unlike RAID 1 it's not quite as simple as breaking the pack and still be able to use one drive on its own as the data is spread across the 2 drives in RAID 0.
