Is there a way to non-destructively test a SSD that is part of a RAID?

My desktop has two SSDS in RAID0 that it runs off of.

Recently, it started BlueScreening randomly... but only on boot, if Windows manages to finish booting then it can run for as long as I want without bluescreening. Most of the time it fails to even write a kernel dump even though it claims it did so I can try to see what caused it. The errors tend to be random/different most of the time when it does happen too.

I had run Memtest86+ overnight to make sure it's not my RAM, and ran into no issues.

So, in order to prevent damage to my data from trying to reboot it constantly to try to figure out what's causing it, I imaged my RAID0 and wrote the image to a spare HDD I had, disconnecting the SSDs themselves and just booting off that SSD. But after I did this, it would not bluescreen anymore. Just to be safe, I also ran Prime95 and Furmark, and no issues, so it doesn't appear to be my CPU or GPUs either.

Which leads me to suspect that maybe it's my SSDs. Problem is as I mentioned before, they are part of a RAID0. And I am worried tests I run on them could damage the raid information on them. I can't test them while they are connected as a RAID as the system will think they are one drive, so the only way I would be able to perform tests on them is individually. While I did create a backup image, I am still weary about using it, I want that to be a last resort.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how I can individually test if these SSDs are going bad without corrupting the RAID information split across them?

Unfortunately, I think any diags you run would have the risk of affecting your RAID.

You didn't say the make/model of the SSDs. Did you check for updated firmware? Even updating the firmware may cause data loss. What about your motherboard BIOS? Maybe there is an update for that as well.

The SSDs are Samsung EVO 840s, which unfortunately were problematic with their read speeds slowing down and were issued several firmware updates to try to fix this, but the last firmware update was a long time ago.

Likewise, my motherboard is an Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE, it's last BIOS update was in 2013.

Both the SSDs and the motherboard have the latest firmware/bios that was released for them.

Ya. I remember hearing about the 840 EVOs. Sorry, but I don't think you have many options. Maybe someone else will have a bright idea.

It could be the RAID controller beginning to fail. I have a PC in my collection with that same mobo but I'm running an 840 Pro as the single system drive. Considering that board is close to 4 years old anything is possible with it. I'm also curious as to why you're running RAID 0 when a single Samsung SSD alone is extremely fast and can come close to maxing out the 6gps pipeline when properly configured.

I'd make sure the very latest drivers for everything are installed and if the blue screens continue revert back to a single SSD for the system drive. Here are the latest known drivers for that mobo: http://www.station-drivers.com/index...id=169&lang=en

My motherboard is what controls the RAID for my SSDs. The blue screens also started happening LONG after the last update for my SSDs or motherboard came out.

Maybe, seems it does support RAID if I read it right.

Live cd/dvd is what I would look at.
