Clone RAID 0 to non-RAID Drive
My operating system (Windows 10 Pro) currently is on 2 SSDs using RAID zero. I want to move the op system to a new single SSD that is not using RAID. The instructions for HD Clone indicates that this will not work because the target and destination drives need to be in the same SATA Mode. Am I reading this correctly? What are my options then to move the op system to a non-RAID drive?
Thanks

Off topic a bit: Using ATI 2015 I cloned an IDE disk to a SATA disk without any issues. Slightly different issue of course.
Colin, breaking a raid 0 will delete the contents; deleting raid one frequently results in two identical partitions (one of which will not be mounted by Windows).
On the SATA mode question, it may depend on how the SATA controller is configured. On all main boards I have use set the SATA mode for all ports controlled by the particular raid controller individual ports as either AHIC or Raid. (Add-in card SATA controllers, particularly up-market ones, may allow you to set the mode on individual ports.) So it should be possible to clone to the a non-raid disk on the same controller. I have assumed that the raid is 'hardware' based rather than created by the OS (Windows).
Not sure where this gets us; the first thing to do would be to check out what options are for configuring the raid controller.
