try tar --file=Merged.tar --create file1.txt file2.txt and tell me if that is what you're looking for. If it is, post back and i will explain what i just showed you. This is basically how you make a "tar ball"

comment Does Firmware RAID negatively affect non-RAID devices?
im sorry but i don't agree with this post at all. Intel Rapid Storage Technology doesn't set up RAID and has nothing to do with the controller, it merely allows for advanced tools when passing RAID commands to the drives such as dynamic de-fragging and power management.

comment Does Firmware RAID negatively affect non-RAID devices?
i'm sorry i don't. All i have are benchmarks that show that there is no difference. Theoretically as well, it shouldn't impact it at all. The reason for that is because there is a separate BIOS for the RAID chip. If there was no separate BIOS then yes, setting the ports to RAID mode should have an impact since its controlled from one chip. But since all they do is inform the RAID chip that these ports are eligible for a RAID array, no actual RAID commands are passed through them until they are actually set up through the RAID controller's BIOS. Make sense?

comment Is this expected hard disk speed? 22.6MB/s
uhm, i'd say that's very very slow. Download HDTune and run an error scan so we can see if there's any bad blocks.

comment Play any Flash livestream video directly from VLC
i'm not sure i understand the question because flash rendered in your browser is going to take the same computing power as if you were to run it from a "native app"

comment Migrating RAID 0 to SSD
you can also try using Acronis True Image, it clones your full drive as an image that you can then choose to restore in whatever way you see fit.

comment how to check if my power supply can handle additional components
fair enough, but then there should be some procedure to refer the question to the Answer of said other question, or have that other Answer display over here. After all, someone performing a keyword search may not be looking for the same exact problem of the other "duplicate question" since it is framed in a considerably different manner.

comment how to check if my power supply can handle additional components
Its not a duplicate of this question even though the answer may be the same, but i see what you mean by being too specific. If two questions have the same answer, are they duplicates?

comment how to check if my power supply can handle additional components
Update your question to include all the components of your computer. You can rather simply calculate how much power you CAN be pulling by observing the TDP of your components. Other than that you would need something like, Kill-A-Watt
