Moving system to RAID0?

Question

RAID

I would like an expert opinion. I basically planned everything, but I'm not sure what problems might arise along the way; and since everything will be done on the main working machine, I would like to at least keep the original working state.
What is now:

• hard drive Samsung, 1TB, 7200rpm, it has a system and some data on two partitions
  
• second hard drive, WD, 2TB, has a lot of free space on it
  

What I want to do:

• add a second terabyte disk on 7200
  
• create RAID 0 from these two
  
• put an existing system (Win 7) on this RAID, without reinstallation and data loss
  

How I plan to do it:

1. create a 1TB disk image using Clonezilla, save it to 2TB
   
2. install a new disk, create hardware RAID 0 using the controller on the mother (Asus P7P55D LE)
   
3. restore image to new RAID partition using Clonezilla Live
   
4. boot from a new partition and live happily ever after
   

What can go wrong:

• Are there any problems with restoring a disk image to a RAID? Since RAID0 will be the full size of two disks, there will be plenty of space there; but you never know
  
• Won't Windows be outraged when it finds itself on an array instead of an old disk?
  

In the worst case, I can theoretically demolish the RAID and return the image to the old 1TB disk, in fact, returning everything as it was.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this subject? What else have I not thought about, what else might not work, or definitely won't work? Has anyone already done something like this?

Answer 1

I see two pitfalls: the system is now hanging on a regular SATA, its driver is installed in the system. After cloning to RAID, you will need a driver for RAID, otherwise the system will crash into a blue screen. The driver can be integrated before cloning, during (Acronis universal restore), and after (Driver Injection).
The second stone - RAID0 - is not even an array, just Stripe. Its only advantage is an increase in speed, and fault tolerance will drop by an order of magnitude - if one disk fails, we get a complete inoperability of the array.

Answer 2

before creating the image, I recommend to demolish the controller driver (put the standard one). And if you use Acronis, then you can not do this, because. there is advanced recovery, which itself will fix problems with firewood.

Answer 3

I did the same a couple of times, only Acronis True Image was used instead of Clonezilla. Windows XP and 7 were transferred. No problems surfaced.
