raid controller

[Phillip Qin]

I just want decide whether I will go for the raid controller on my
motherboard or buy a raid card. However, raid is not configured in software,
it is rather setup in raid controller's bios.

	Hi Phillip, 

		I've not used RAID before, but I'll see if I can answer your
question.
I doubt you'll lose any information, just by swapping motherboards. Why
would you? The information is still on the disk, after all. I hope this
helps,

			PS; Good luck on the hardware swap,
