[QUESTION] Raid 0 after dismantling PC

[Korindo]

Hey guys,

 

 

I just built my cubitek PC with 2x 500GB Samsung 840 SSD's. However there was a problem with my CPU cooler so i need to dismantle my new rig and replace the cooler. however because the mini-cube has no backplate options i actually need to remove the whole mobo and most of the hardware to replace it... will i have a problem with my raid 0 once i rebuild this system. I've already done a lot of work and major files on the array that i really dont want to risk losing or corrupting. 

 

I know backing up is an option but some of the stuff is large programs that ive had to download (approx 15gb each) and i only have a small internet plan so i really cant afford to redownload them.

 

 

Please help me!!

 

Regards,

If you put the drives back into the same sata ports on your mobo, I doubt you will have any issues

I intended to do that ill just have to mark the cables first... Thanks man.

 

I'm curious now, has anyone done this before and not lost everything?

Just thinking about it. You computer is on. You turn it off to install your cooler and turn it back on again (while dismantling it, you put everything back exactly was it was). Your PC turns on and finds the CPU runs cooler. Why would anything go wrong?

completely fair point. I'm just a little nervous since its my first Raid build so i didn't know how its going to react.

You'll be fine i had to disassemble my PC to transfer it to my R4.

Onboard raid controller should remember the raid, as long as you plug them in the same ports.

Don't worry about it. Intel RST is pretty smart. Even if you booted it again without the drives, then booted it with the drives plugged into the opposite ports, then took the drives and put them into another RST enabled board, the board would recognize the raid config.

 

I built a rig for my younger sister (on my dad's dime, she had a 10 year old dell before that) and had 2 drives in raid 1 using intel's RST off of a z77 chipset. One drive was dying so I took it over to my workstation (x79 platform) to see if I could figure out exactly what was wrong with it. I plugged it in and on boot it was recognized as being a member disk of a degraded raid 1 array, which is exactly what it was.

 

TL;DR don't worry, you could plug both drives into any computer with intel RST and the array would be recognized.

 

Edit: Also 500th post :D

you can actually plug them into different ports and it will still work....
