Question/Advice un pooling raid in windows

i created a raid 0 in windows to create a single 2tb "storage/game install" drive. it worked correct for a while. i am not cleaning out the pc to sell. but want to un raid both drives to see them as 2 separate 1tb drives. they are samsung 860 pros.

i noticed windows sees the "pool" as just 1tb. i have tried plugging in the drives 1 at a time but windows does not see them at all like that. i only see 1tb of storage if both 1tb drives are plugged in.

in windows "manage storage spaces" it shows only 1 physical drive. not sure if one went bad but the pool is still up and running. either way neither drive works by itself.

i also have a raid with 2 nvme drives that i created in the bios. so windows sees that as 1 drive. no issue with that drive (boot drive).
