I received the SSD today. I cloned my existing RAID 0 C: drive to it using the Samsung software and a USB to SATA cable. After the clone I installed the SSD and connected it to an open SATA port. I booted to BIOS and changed the HDD boot order to make the SSD boot first. This worked and I booted to Windows. I reformatted by mechanical drives so I could use them for data. The RAID configuration was maintained.
