I have two intel SSDs that were in hardware raid 0. I upgraded my system & now they are not recognized by anything. The BIOS in of my new mother board the disk management tools of Linux & windows, Intel's toolkit, & seatools DOS don't see it. The raid got a little weird when I went from windows 7 to windows 10 but it still worked.
 
That should not be an issue, use diskpart to run a clean all. Attach them to a system running Windows, open an elevated command prompt (right click run as admin), and then use these commands (just be careful to make the correct selection of drives):

diskpart
list disk
select disk n (where n is a problem SSD)
clean all

Run that on each drive, then they will show up in disk management as disks that need to be initialized and formatted -- so those and they will be as good as new and ready to go.
 


update, when I plugged both SSDs in they are recognized as a single drive. Diskpart & my computer treat them as one. When only one is plugged in even diskpart doesn't see it. Formatting & cleaning it didn't seperate them
 


I'd already tried that it won't let me. It says I can't do it on windows 8, I'm on 10
