Anti-Static Wrist Strap or Anti-Static Mat ( You don't want to fry your new SSDs or electronics within the RBP!).

Tools needed to open the back cover of the beast and some notes This may VOID your warranty so do it at your own risk (especially for non-US countries)ДЎ. Finally, note that only NVMe m.2 SSDs work in RBP 2016. For gaming I don't think there will be difference upgrading to the expensive 960 Pros. The stock drives (Samsung PM961) are amazingly fast already.

There is no point to upgrade the stock SSDs unless you have Samsung 960 Pro disks or want much bigger storage.

I'm very worried about single disk failure to kaboom the entire set up so RAID 0 must go.

Finally, this guide will install the new SSDs as non-RAID.

If you just need to break the RAID 0 set up this is also a good thing to request for. Alternatively, Razer support team can provide you a USB recovery disk and you need to fill out a simple form.

It also assumes you want to do a clean install of Windows 10 from a bootable USB disk, which means Razer recovery partition will be gone.

This guide assumes you don't care about the data on the stock drives (or that you've made the backup using software like Macrium Reflect already, but I'm not sure if it works for backing up the two stock SSDs in Raid 0 to your external storage).

Many thanks to the forum users here for their suggestions. I will keep updating to this post with images, so please stay tuned.

Happy holidays everyone! My Samsung 960 Pro 2TB sticks just arrived, and I spent the night figuring out how to do a clean install of Windows 10 on these.
