I’m actually about to break a RAID1 setup right now. I’ve got 2 500GB SATA2′s setup in RAID1 via my Biostar A785G3 motherboard. I created an image via clonezilla, which might be useless ….lol… Also backed up all critical files on another computer. I’m just going to break the RAID and cross my fingers.

Thanks Chuck… I am in pretty much the exact same situation you were, and like you I wasnt able to find much information out there. I got the same warnings when attempting to break my RAID1 configuration, but it didnt equate. Isnt a mirrored configuration supposed to act as a realtime backup? If you cant break one and have two identical copies, then mirroring wouldnt serve much of a function!

Thanks again.
