raid 0, new system?

suyspeedy · January 20, 2016

Simple question(maby): Will my OS raid0 show up in new system?

My motherboard died and i had my OS in raid 0(2xSSD), also my storage was raid0(2xHDD). Is there a possibility I can keep the volumes on a new system?

Old system had a onboard Intel-controller(sandybrige), same will my new system have(skylake).

Probably not, you may get lucky that your RAID controller may see the array but its best to plan for a reinstall.

Nope. You'll have to re-create the RAID arrays to get them back into RAID 0, which will wipe the drives.

Hey there suyspeedy,

There's a very little-to-none chance that your new controller will be the same as the old one (if you get the same motherboard) and your motherboard would recognize the array. I would contact a data recovery company if you value your data .Otherwise you would need to reformat all four drives in order to use them.

RAID0 offers zero redundancy and it is always important to keep backups of your data. I would suggest to start doing so if you plan on using RAID0 in the future so you can avoid such problems.

Post back if you have questions
