In news:uWx1fu7sGHA.3684@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Chris <webstinmail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on below:
My file servers is using a ASUS motherborad which has a built-in RAID
controller. I have installed 4 SATA hardisks and run a RAID 0+1 disk
array. Few days ago, the motherborad has problem, the system is
hanged during the windows start-up screen.
1) Is it possible to move these 4 HDs to another motherborad which
has a built-in RAID function, and read all data from the disk array
properly?
2) My broken motherboard is old version. I cannot find the same
motherboard. Is it possible to read this RAID disk on other
motherboard with built-in RAID controller
3) Can I use another brand RAID controller?
Please advise.
Another question I want to know. If 2 disks is running on RAID 1, is
it possible to take out one HD and run as normal disk without RAID?

Did you consult ASUS' support help at their website? I've never used ASUS,
but rather have used Intel and Supermicro. I would assume you can put all
the drives into another machine with a similar controller and it would
possibly read the config off the drives. But I would consult their website.
Here' try their site or contact them. Ibelieve it is free.

As for RAID1, since is is a mirror, yes, you can use one of the drives
without the other. It's a mirror. But for a 0+1, I haven't used 0+1, so
maybe someone else can answer to that, but for a strict Raid1, yes you can
use one of the two drives in the Raid1 set.

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
