Default Moving RAID Controller
Hey guys,

I am using a 3ware 9650se with a 4x1TB RAID5. I will be moving the RAID controller and associated drives from a P55A to a 990FX motherboard. I was wondering if there should be any foreseeable reason why the new computer would not be able to recognize the RAID5 that is already setup?

I am going to back-up my information, just want to know if there are any risk(s) that are involved in such a move.

Thanks!

I would expect it to be fine. The drives are associated with the RAID controller, so they shouldn't care which computer they are in.
