Can I transfer my array?

This should probably be in Hard Disks, but I thought I would get a quicker response here.

My IN9-32X MAX motherboard has bit the dust and I could really do with getting some data off the Raided disks.

Question is do I need to get another board with an nVidia Controller or will an Intel controller recognise the array and let me get the data off it?

I know I can't boot from the array unless I get a matching board, but it would be great to salvage some of the data. Thankfully I don't need much thanks to regular backups.

EDIT - forgot to add I am currently working off a NF7-S board, would I be able to read the array with it?

Generally you can't unless you use the same brand controller.

Thanks for the reply.

Found this link, but not too sure about it at all....

I wish I'd known about that about a couple of years ago when my MSI board failed & took my raid 0 settings with it. Replaced it with the exact same board & it would not boot.
