Swapping RAID drives to new controller

[dangerwillrobinson]

Assume the RAID size is 1 disk. If I create a RAID0 array on this one disk using controller A, and if I were to buy a new motherboard w/ controller B, would I need to rebuild the raid (lose all data) using the new controller B or should the new controller B be able to continue using the disk?

I believe it depends on whether or not you are using the same brand of controller.

I have an onboard promise in my old computer. My new computer uses a Silicon Image controller. The SiI Couldn't read it and simply gave the option to create an array (which I declined). I was however able to attach the old drives to a Promise PCI controller I added in and it would read the drives fine.
