I just built a new computer and I was wondering if it's possible to move a raid 0 array (using a pci raid card) to my new comp without any data being lost? Thanks in advanced!

If you're moving the card with your array, it should come up fine.

If you were using the onboard SATA ports, then it would be much less likely... (still possible if hte raid chipset is the same however).

I'd never count on it though - make sure you have a backup just in case.

Eh... make sure you install windows BEFORE installing that PCI-E RAID card in your motherboard. If you do it the other way around, you're going to have issues with windows recognizing the RAID array.

UNLESS you're booting Windows from the RAID array. But if you're doing that, Windows will most likely give you all kinds of issues because you changed motherboards and probably chipsets. In that case you'll need to back up everything on something else and format the RAID array.

Make sense?
