Moving RAID set - Help please

Desmo · 10-01-2008, 12:38

Seeing as I'm having problems with one of the Macs here (which happens to be the main file server for jobs) I'm looking at moving the jobs discs to another machine. I'm also thinking of possibly putting them onto a spare PC I have.

Now, in the Mac I currently have two drives that are RAID mirrored. If I move them to the PC, will they just work? Even if I just use one drive to start with, does that have all the info? Or is it because they're mirrored, they still need to be in a pair? Although that sounds daft as their wouldn't be any point in mirroring if you couldn't recover from one working drive.

Also, can you tell that I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to RAID stuff?
