The real issue is knowing the controller that provides the RAID function
and if the new board has the same controller. In some cases, like a
Mirror, you can move drives between controllers of the same vendor, in
others, since the controller formats the drives you can't.

We don't know if the chap is using R1 or R0, since it's just two drives
and 500GB, I suspect it's R0. To me, it would be a crap shoot, meaning
that R0 is bad enough, but moving them to another controller is a risky
move at any time.

There is no way anyone here, unless the have experience with R0 on the
exact same platforms, could say if it will work or not.
