If I have a RAID 0 HDD setup on one motherboard can I attach the same RAID setup to another RAID 0-set motherboard and not lose the data?

Thanks,
Indybird

Unlikely. It's best to use another HDD to backup your data and then set new.

It IS possible ONLY if both mobo's have the same controller. For instance, if you have two motherboards based on the nforce 4 chipset then they would both use nvraid.

I would still back it up before proceeding.

Yeah I will support the short answer of no... find someplace to do a data dump and re-build the raid in the new machine... Raids don't transfer well.
