Software RAID and OS crash

Hi,

I have a SSD drive and x2 2 TB mechanical drive. If I put the 2 TB drives in a software raid 0 (stripe) using Windows 8 and the OS crashes on the SSD drive will I lose all my information on the RAID drive? Thanks.

Not that it couldn't happen, but it's unlikely. If the SSD drive just flat out dies it shouldn't effect the raid 0 array at all. You should be able to re-install your OS and see the array just fine. Now there is always the chance that whatever harms your SSD will also harm the array.
