Migrating RAID 0 Array

[daniel_542]

Hi Guys,
I am new to using RAID in any format.
I recently moved my system to a RAID Stripe array to speed it up but have discovered an unrecoverable fault on my current motherboard (Intel DX58SO).
So I am wanting to migrate the array to another motherboard (ASUS P6T6 WS) that has the same intel-based RAID chipset and support - will the array migrate or will I have to reinstall everything?
Thanks in advance everyone

The only way you will be able to do this without data loss is to make a backup image of the original RAID and restore it to the newly created RAID on the new system board.

RAID 0 is nothing but combing 2 or more drives together unlike any other type of RAID that would have parity built in in case of failures or situations like this. so it is likely you will lose all the data on the drives and will have to rebuild it

So i can migrate a raid 5 for example or raid 1 but not a raid 0?

No, you cannot migrate RAID 5 or RAID 1 any easier than RAID 0. In all cases, the only way to safely migrate the data from one RAID controller to another is to fully backup the data and then restore it to the newly built RAID. Most RAID controllers will want to initialize the disk and will likely store the RAID meta data differently on the drives.
