Question Is it possible to transfer RAID 0 array onto 'new' PC?

[b.gaj.bg]

Hello, a few years ago when I was building my present PC I've set up a RAID 0 array out of two 2TB HDDs. Now I'm considering on upgrading my old B350 to B550 with new CPU.

I'm wondering now if there's a safe and relatively easy way of 'transferring' my RAID array so I won't loose any data?

I'm assuming connecting just one HDD will render the data on it unusable as it's only half of information, right?

I remember I've set it up with help of some MSI (mainboard's manufacturer) instructions/tools, but can't remember exactly.

Not even a little bit.

New system = fresh installation, RAID or no RAID.

And depending how this RAID was instantiated, it might be specific to that particular motherboard.


Solution?
Ditch the RAID 0 completely, and move to a solid state drive.

Well, note taken. I guess I would need to put some cash into backup drive first if I'm to commence my upgrade. Not worth taking the risk.

Thanks for reply.

Well, you need a good backup anyway.
All the time.

And especially when doing some major hardware or software change.

Yeah, RAID0 without any backup? This is literally the setup you use if you don't care about your data at all.

It's time for serious re-thinking about your system's storage and backup situation.

To be fair havent been keeping anything extremely important on those drives. But yeah, you're right.
