Alright, so I finally entered the speed leagues a couple of days ago by getting a couple of 250GB drives for a RAID0 array. So far I'm loving it. Stuff is pretty damn fast, especially decompressing big RARs, that's even more than twice as fast.
The thing is, in about 2 weeks I plan on getting a new mobo, and I have heard that RAID arrays cannot simply be transplanted. I'm thinking of getting a single 500GB drive for back up of the RAID array. My question is, can apps like Norton Ghost (or other apps, I'm also looking for recommendations) create backups of RAID arrays (the main problem being the drivers, I guess) and would I be able to backup my 250GBx2 RAID array onto a single 500GB drive?
I did Google but couldn't come up with anything quite useful; the words backup, mirroring, etc come up a lot when searching for RAID...
