Umm ... no, exactly opposite. The config data is written to BOTH the drives and the controller. I would NEVER take the Raid HW with me on a Dead server with an identical Hot unit on a new Dell or ANY Compaq. Old Dell raid controllers ONLY wrote the config in the controller .. if you lost a controller you lost the set with or without good data on the drive.

The card contains a lot of Config info regarding your arrays, and it is nice to bring that with you. -----Original Message----- From: Brien Mayer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 8:46 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Question That's what I was saying.

One of the question that came up was. What if the win2k Exchange 2k server had a hardware failure like the cpu burned up,but the drives were still ok. Could we move the drives out of that server & into another server (same model & hardware) We went around & around on this. We still don't have a 100% yes or no. What do you all think?
