Feb 02 16:09:49 <DocScrutinizer05> >> If I disable the RAID controller then I cannot get the computer to boot from the SATA SSD but the computer seems to have noticed that I replaced the SATA HDD [1 Feb 2020 10:56:02] <brolin_empey> with a SATA SSD even though the new drive is a clone of the old drive<<  sounds like your cloned data on drive was from a RAID drive, IOW your old computer had RAID enabled and so you need RAID on new computer too
Feb 03 00:01:39 <brolin_empey> DocScrutinizer05: As I already explained, the computer will not boot from a drive installed in the drive bays in the front if the RAID controller is disabled because these drive bays are connected to the RAID controller.  Apparently the computer was running from the single physical HDD with RAID, which does not make sense but I am not the person who originally installed the OS on this computer in 2013 or 2014.  The contents of the HDD are not different 
Feb 03 00:01:39 <brolin_empey> because of the use of RAID because the RAID controller is hardware, not software.  I cloned the HDD onto an SSD then connected the SSD to the normal SATA port on the motherboard instead of to the RAID controller by replacing the ODD in the computer with the SSD.  There is no new computer, it is only the one, same computer but I wanted to replace the HDD with an SSD before the HDD fails.
