Migrating RAID10 to another server

I'm planning to move/migrate my RAID10 array of 4 disks from one server to another server which is dedicated for the use of the RAID10.

So here's the question, can I just move the set of HDDs part of the RAID10 array and plug them on the new server and have all the data readily available ?

The RAID set is coming off from the server that was built on a LSI SAS2308 controller which is also built-in on the X10SL7 motherboard. The target server has an LSI 9240-8i card, which has an LSI SAS2008 controller.

Do you think it will work off the bat ?

Sorry, I don't have much RAID experience, nor usage with LSI products.

Many thanks in advance !
 
Did you build the RAID using the onboard BIOS of the HBA or did you do it through your OS (such as NTFS Softraid/mdadm/etc)
 
I used the MSM utility, or MegaRAID Storage Manager -thingy, everything is in a Windows environment, no other 3P software RAID added such as FlexRAID, or DB or DrivePool. Just RAID10 on the LSI2308 controller.

Although it's behind an HP SAS Expander.

...on a side note, how do you get SMART passthrough with RAID arrays built on LSI controllers anyway ?
