[SOLVED] Secondary HDD in Raid 0 to new Mobo. Will it sill work?

[einzelwolf]

Hi, I currently have an SSD as my OS unit and 2 HDD in Raid 0 as my secondary storage unit. I am upgrading from an old intel chip to a Ryzen 7 mobo and cpu and I know I have to do a clean install of Windows 10 in the SSD but my question is the following; What will happen to the secondary HDD? If I transfer the two drives to the new mobo and set them up as Raid 0 will they work as in the old mobo? Should I back up everything in an external hdd instead?

Thanks!

What will happen to the secondary HDD?

Nothing will happen to it.

If I transfer the two drives to the new mobo and set them up as Raid 0 will they work as in the old mobo?

No, you will need to do another RAID installation after reformatting drives.

Should I back up everything in an external hdd instead?

Yes

You have an SSD and an HDD in the same RAID 0 array?

No, I have an SSD as my main unit (C: ) and two HDD in raid 0 as secondary unit (D: ).

As above, make a full copy of the RAID array in its current state off to some other drive.
Build up the new machine.
After the OS is up and running, reformat and enable the RAID array with the HDD's.
Copy the date back into it.
