My beloved KG7-RAID quit on me yesterday (fans come on, no video, no post, etc), so now I'm in the market for a new motherboard. Because most of the data on that computer was stored on the RAID drives, I'm afraid that without getting another similar motherboard that data may be lost.
Unfortunately, time has gone by and it would be nice not to have to pick up an older motherboard with the Highpoint 370/370a standard just to rescue the RAID drives. While my equipment isn't top of the line, I might as well get something a little newer.
I discovered, while hunting for a new motherboard, that Newegg has a PCI Highpoint Rocket100 card that has the Highpoint 370 chip. NewEgg
I don't care if it can boot from the drives or not, but if I put that in a system will I be able to access the RAID drives from the old KG7 system with no loss of data?
Luckily, I must have had premonition of doom, because I backed up most of the important stuff on the drive recently, but there are a few documents that were added afterward that I would like to recover, if possible, since it will save some time.
All this is because I assume I can no longer access the data on the RAID drives (which were RAID 0, not 1) from a normal IDE drive connector, correct?
