RAID - Installing RAID 0 (SSD's) but Booting from single SSD to me this is impossible as soon I make the raid array and change RAID mode in bios , trying to boot from the other SSD is just not going to happen...
I have windows 7 installed on new Samsung 850 pro with rapid mode I have 2X 256gig 840 pro I added as raid 0 but trying to boot back to the single SSD it wont let me .
anyone have any idea?

It should be possible but you will have to go to the "Boot" menu in the BIOS and give the single SSD boot priority over the RAID0.

I also created Raid 0 SSD just for the fun of it 🙂 and ran into the same problem. I was able to get into the bios, set the hard drive boot order and this worked but you had to do that every time. The solution I found was to disable the FAST BOOT.

BTW beware if you transfer your system to the Raid SSD; it may not survive a bios update.
