Hey everyone, I’m preparing for some custom water cooling upgrades and thinking about adding a third M.2 SSD to free up space and reach six terabytes of storage. Right now I have two 2TB Sabrent Rocket Gen 4 drives—one as the boot drive and another for extra storage. I want to install the third one and test it without worrying about cables or leaks. The challenge is setting it up in RAID0 so everything appears as a single drive. This means I need to back up my files, copy my Windows 11 installation to a separate SATA drive, and then move that copy over to the M.2 array. How do I safely transfer a Windows install like this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many tools are available for copying or moving operating systems; you can easily search online for recommendations. Was the last program you tried NIUBI PARTITION EDITOR?

you can link your extra storage device and format it, then use a tool named mini partition wizard to move the OS. on the interface, you'll find a "migrate os" option, allowing you to repeat the process in reverse.
