Hi,

New here and not entirely sure where my question fits in to the forum so tell me if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I've currently got a Dell Precision 690 with 2 pairs of Raid 1 HDDs set up through the Bios (as opposed to done in software).
However I've just bought a new computer with an Asus x99 rampage v extreme MOBO and want to move my current HDDs from the Dell into the Asus, keeping the Raid 1 format.
My question is: How can I do this?
Are Raid controllers all compatible making it as easy as moving the HDDs from one pc into the other? Or is this going to be a painful task of backing up my data, wiping them, setting up the RAID, and then reinstalling everything?

Thanks

1. Which sort of RAID Controller is on-board of the Dell system? Look into the "Storage Controllers" section of the Device Manager and check fo the name and the HadwareIDs of the Controller (right click onto it > "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs").

It's a Dell SAS 5/iR Integrated Controller and going where you told me I have 4 values for the Hardware IDs:
PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F081028&REV_01
PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&SUBSYS_1F081028
PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&CC_010000
PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0054&CC_0100

2. Which one of your disk drives contains the OS and the boot sector? If you don't know it, open the Windows "Disk Management".

---

It's on a partition on one of the RAID pairs

3. Which OS are you currently running and which Os do you want to run in the future?

Win7 x64 currently with no plans (or desire) to change

Thanks
