Intel RAID-0 restoration question

[3870x2]

I have an old Asrock z87 with the Intel Raid Rapid Storage technology. The motherboard failed on me a few days ago. The information on the RAID isn't that important, but I would rather have it than not. More importantly, my windows 10 key information is stored on the RAID.

What options are available to me? Do I have to get another Asrock z87 motherboard to restore the RAID or can I upgrade to a new Intel chipset with RAID and restore it from there?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

no, RAID 0 is unfortunetly literally what it says. the paity bits (and information) are stored per disk and require a sync up to function at every boot. If one of the drives have failed you are totally fucked. You can attempt software or sending it out but the chances of success vary wildly and you are out the disks for the duration of the recovery process.

I have attempted it several times and generally the data is totally corrupt.

You should be able to plug the drives into any Intel motherboard that supports RAID and the array should show up. Just make sure the new board is set to RAID mode on the SATA ports.

The motherboard died, not a hard drive.

woops my bad im in the middle of a flight (literally on a plane RN) and was distracted, thanks for that. yeah it should be rebuild able. I personally havent done RAID card to mobo RAID but if its controllable via RST you should be good.

Thanks! I guess it's time to make an upgrade...

if the disks has not gone bad you just build the array [bios ] bad thing is getting windows to boot on a diff / new board if not the same as replaced .

now I don't know if you can set up the array in the bios as like storage and access data normally .. as said above and you read here about raid 0 = done is most times done

'' data evenly across two or more disks, without parity information, redundancy, or fault tolerance. Since RAID 0 provides no fault tolerance or redundancy, the failure of one drive will cause the entire array to fail; as a result of having data striped across all disks, the failure will result in total data loss''

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels

pretty much never put anything you want to keep or cant easy recover on it or have full single disk backups on a super reg basis .

aanyway as long as the disks did not fail just set up a new array and add the disk [in the exacte same location / disk 1 where disk 1 was and disk 2 as so on .. don't mix them

Thanks for all the help. This thread can be closed and tagged as answered:

I bought the following:
i7-8700
MSI Gaming 370x

I booted up, and in the bios I set the ports to RAID, set the boot options to the first hard drive that was part of the raid. After that, it booted right to the operating system after some automated windows configuration.

PM me with any questions, and again, thanks!

if it as not disk failure you in good shape just re build the bios to raid and add the 2 drives back in - just with windows [maybe not 10 ? ] it then down to windows rejecting a new motherboard if not the same replacement

glad it worked out and you seem good to go

full stop for a second kids whilst I am happy it worked for the Op

motherboard raids are always a crapshoot and I have seen many a time where you can not import the array on anouther board
the lesson here is make backups Op got lucky, You May not

Intel is pretty forgiving actually. I’ve moved my RAID 0 array from P67 to Z97 with zero hassle in fact the array was used on 2 P67s(same board tho so that should have been painless)

raid is fine but raid -0- is the crap shoot ..lol....
