Dell power edge server wish to clone a single dive.

Okay so this is a bit confusing so I'm going to hopefully break this down pretty easily this poweredge has six drives

Drive 0 is RAID 0 and is set to just use a single drive as the c drive. (Yes i know there are better ways) The other five drives are a raid 5 configuration that make up the d drive that is for the data of this system

Currently it is apparent that drives zero is starting to fail and is having issues

My question is I would like to use something like clonezilla in another machine to clone this drive zero to another drive and drop it in however I understand that because of the RAID controller drive zero has a different signature and it makes this a little hard to do so is there an easy way that I can make this happen?
