RAID config

ScoobyDoo69 · 12 Nov 2006 at 20:12

I had an Abit IC7-G running a RAID config via the SATA controller. Is there anyway I can just plug this into another RAID controller and be able to access all my data etc? Or will I need to find a board with the same SATA RAID controller ?? If so can anyone help me out. It's the P4 Intel version btw. The northbridge fan failed and killed the northbridge thereafter !

If the OS isn't on the RAID then you can just install the new RAID drivers once you have the system set up.

It's hardware RAID, not software

You'll need to find a board with the same (or very similar) RAID controller for it to work without issues.

If you were running off the Intel SATA ports then I would think that any Intel based board would be OK, if you were using a Silicon Image or Promise controller (can't remember if that board has a second SATA controller) then you'll need to find a reasonably close match. There was a thread in the HDD forum last week I think where someone was asking the same question but the RAID was on an SI controller - it worked on a slightly newer SI controller with no problems.
