Raid to new mobo

sp33dball · Oct 1, 2007

Hey,

I got a raid-0 setup on my current motherboard (P965-DS3) and soon I have a P35-DS3R coming, would transferring the raid over be much of a problem?

Should I expect to do a clean install or should it pick up alright? I usually do fresh installs when I do a hardware change such as this, but right now I don't have the time to have a computer down for that long.

Thanks!

I don't see any way of getting around a clean install. Completely different raid controllers

That's what I was afraid of... *shrugs* Oh well, thanks for the quick reply.

If you are using ICH8 RAID on the 965 you should be able to port your RAID to ICH9.

DS3 has Jmicron raid actually so no that is incorrect

Just look at the bright side, you'll get a significant performance boost by migrating your raid from JMicron to ICH9R !

I hope so!

I'm hoping I'll get a little more out of my Quad also with the P35, but if not I'm happy where I'm at.

What drives do you have there ?

Since you will be juggling those drives by re-creating the raid & reformatting both of them, ever consider Matrix Raid ?

2x SATA 160 Western Digital 7200, I would really like to do a Matrix raid but that would mean either a mobo that supports it natively or a raid card. I'm already set to go for the DS3R (No Matrix sadly) and don't really feel like spending extra for a raid-card, can't really justify the money for 2 7200's

...

Now if I had a few Raptors...

Your P35-DS3R with ICH9R supports Matrix Raid natively !

Well there ya go! Looks like I'm one step behind myself... if that's even possible

Thanks for the heads-up :soda:
