I have two hard drives connected to an Intel Matrix Storage RAID/SATA contoller on a X58/ICH10R board.
Let's say I config the two drives as a RAID1 array and in the future my motherboard fails. Will I be able to connect one of the drives to a random machine (a machine without the Intel controller) and have it recognized? I would expect yes.
What if I use Intel's "Matrix RAID" and put both a RAID0 and a RAID1 configuration on the above pair of hard drives. Now if my motherboard dies, will I be able to connect one of the drives to a random machine and have the RAID1 potion be recognized? Or have I locked myself into reliance on Intel's controller by using the Matrix RAID feature?
