Chipset raid recovery after Mobo death

Hey folks,

I've been using a RAID 0 with 2 SSDs on an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme, but it recently died. (It died the second time now in the same way. I had a thread about that in this Forum ( http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3294764/asus-rampage-shutdown-power.html) ) In order to run my OS on this RAID I chose a hardware RAID solution over the chipset. This Mobo utilizes a X79 Chipset, but has in addition an AsMedia SATA controller, wich rocks four of in total 8 ports. I suppose I used these ports.

I hope you guys can help me to recover my data from this "former RAID".
I've heard if i get the same controller, i should be abled to restore the raid configuration including the data. The problem is these boards are really expensive, about 250€ used on Ebay. Is there any solution to Simulate the SATA controller or to recover the data ?

I'm looking forward to your answers, best regards!
 
Solution
I'm not aware of any PCIe SATA host from Asmedia capable of RAID, therefore mostlikely you're using X79 Chipset Mobo's RAID
Very good change your SSDs will work with other X79 Chipset Mobo.
In general you can't switch between RAID solutions. I don't think there's anything you can do.

In the future I suggest you have an automated backup solution like Acronis True Image. I have mine set to auto-backup every week (Incremental with auto deletion of older backup images).

Hum.
Normally I'm doing regular backups, but I was modifying my pc-setup and got messy with backups.

So i don't want to switch my RAID solution, I want to get a controller to work with the RAID 0 data on both SSDs and thus recover my Data.

Has anyone heard about virtualizing SATA/RAID controller ?
