Clone old SSD to new RAID0 *without* crashing on boot?

Hi!

-Currently use an old SSD (AHCI) as my main C: disk with Windows 8.1.
-Have 2 new SSD drives for a new RAID 0 stripe as a replacement/upgrade.
-The old SSD has a Win 8.1 install that is *highly* 'modified' to work with certain bluetooth hardware, color profiles, etc.

Question: I need *clone/image* the old SSD to the new RAID0 setup *without* it crashing on boot. I only have a small freeware pendrive app to do this so I'm guessing its not sufficient. (The cloned OS on the new RAID0 setup expects the old AHCI controller?) How can I clone/image the old SSD over properly?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!
 
What new SSDs did you get, and what controller?
More than likely, a single SSD already saturates the SATA controller, so doing RAID0 would be wasteful, unless you are doing benchmarks.
If you are using a PCIe controller...then, it would be faster, and to migrate to a RAID0 array, I think it was Acronis (and maybe some others) that offer this.
 
So i need to use Acronis software and chose to 'migrate' the current single disk to a RAID 0? And after it will boot in Windows without BSOD?
