Hardware Raid question

[Handbrake]

If, I have raid 1 setup for OS and Raid 5 setup for data

If raid control had gone bad
Can I take one of OS hard drive put on mobo sata controller..will it boot? or only way is to get the exact raid controller?

You have to get the same or a similar RAID controller. This is one reason why RAID is not a backup.

From what I remember with RAID 1 you stand a fighting chance of having the OS boot up. Your going to have driver issues. Even on hardware solutions RAID 1 is just mirroring the drives.
