Yes, you can clone the RAID volume into the new Solid State Drive, then you can disconnect the mechanical HDDs and the system should boot to the SSD with no problems, of course the cloning success depends on the software you are going to use.
Now, if you leave the hard drives (HDD) with the RAID array connected to the system, the PCH will read immediately the volume information on them and the MBR, so it is possible that it boots to the RAID level instead of booting to the SSD.
I suggest you to remove the HDDs and check if the system boots to the SSD. Then, you can connect the HDDs into a different computer, format them and then use them in the system with the Solid State Drive
You can also check on BIOS if you can change the Hard Disk Drive boot order and make sure the SSD is on top. |
