Simple question:
I have an old Abit KR7A-133R that is beginning to fail. This motherboard comes with an onboard RAID controller based on a Highpoint design (RocketRaid133, I believe). I have another RAID controller (separate card) in another box, but it is based on a Silicon Image chipset (Silcon Image SIL0680). This card is currently operating in JBOD mode with two 40GB WD drives. Is it possible to migrate the existing array from the Abit board (RAID 0, 4 disks) to the Silicon Image controller without data loss, or would the stripe creation process scrub all of the existing data on that array?
