RAID Arrays

[JonMooring]

When I make the switch to NF4 in a couple of days, will my RAID array stay in-tact?

Depends what kind of array it is.
If it's RAID-1, then you'll need to recreate the array but you won't lose anything.

Otherwise (any other RAID system), you'll lose the lot.

So I couldn't simply reconfigure the array as it was before on my NF3 board, and it'd figure out the pieces from there?

Not if the boards use the same RAID controller...but yeah in this case assuming he's using the NF4 controller...will need to be redone

One of the reasons a REAL hardware RAID controller is awesome
