I just purchased two veliciraptors and plan on running them in raid0. I currently have 2 74gig raptors in raid 0. i also have a 500gig drive installed which is pretty empty. Is there a way to transfer everything from the old raid setup to the new. I am running a Gigabyte 790fx dq6 mobo. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

To transfer data files, just copy them to the 500GB drive. To transfer the O/S and installed applications, you shouldn't even try IMO. I'd just install Windows from scratch, it's safer.

Try Acronis True Image if you are working on the same computer.
Download a trial and clone the drives. You will probably have to disconnect the 500GB drive temporarily.

Norton Ghost is also a good program for copying information and OS installs, but I have to side with aevm that a fresh install will yield the best results. Sounds like your computer is quite a beast!

Thanks guys. It sucks to re-install. Although that would be the best way to do it. Im running out of space and its hard to put anything on a slower drive. These new drives should last awhile though
