I'm looking to upgrade my 3 year old mobo, memory and cpu. The problem is, I'm using the onboard RAID controller using 4 HDs in a raid5 config. The issue is, as far as I know, I must use the same exact raid controller.
This is what I have:
ASUS A8N-SLI premium (september 2005)
Raid controller: siI3114 ( http://www.sci-worx.com/products/product.aspx?id=28 )
4x300GB maxtors Raid5 with about 800GB stored data
So my questions are:
1. Must I use the exact same Raid controller?
2. If so, is there a mobo made out there these days that uses this chip?
3. If there isn't a mobo, any idea if I can find a pci card that would do it?
4. Any other solution considered!
Thanks for your help on this.
