I really wasn't sure where to post this so here goes... I have 2 2TB m.2 drives I have in a RAID0 to be 4TB for games (no need for redundancy) and want to do a fresh install of Windows 11. Will I somehow lose this RAID configuration if I do this? Or, with the fresh Windows installation, can I just then re-install the RAID drivers for my motherboard and Windows pick the drive back up without losing data? Here is what I used to create the RAID if that matters... I'm pretty new to RAID configurations.

As long as the setup remained in firmware, Windows wouldn't cause issues when reinstalled on a different storage device. It's always wise to save your data before undertaking major system changes.

It seems you're asking if you can configure RAID without using BIOS, specifically with the RAIDXpert2 from Gigabyte. You're wondering if you can move files, remove the existing RAID setup, and then set it up in BIOS before reinstalling Windows.
