Is it possible to change from a 3GB/s SATA II Intel ICH10R software RAID1 setup on my ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard to a 6GB/s SATA III Dell PERC H310 SAS/SATA hardware RAID controller with the same RAID1 setup in the same MOBO without losing any data? MY OS is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.
The two drives in my current software RAID array are 500GB SATA II Seagate Barracudas and I’m thinking of buying a couple of 1TB SATA III Seagate Constellation ES.3 Enterprise drives to replace the Barracudas as they’re 3-4 years old now, but re-installing everything on the new drives is something I DON’T want to do.
BTW, I believe the PERC H310 is a re-branded LSI 9240-8i board based on the LSI 2008 SAS chip.
