Are RAID1 disks controller dependent?
Previously Dave wrote:
Can I take a mirrored (RAID1) disk out of my system and just use it normally? Do mirrored disks have any difference from a single system disk? They have differences. Since updates are not completely synchronous, some administrative information is stored on the disks. If it is done sensibly (e.g. Linux software-RAID) this admin info is stored at the end of the disk/partition, hence allowing the use of the disk/partition unraided. However other systems have a tehdency to tore the info-block at the beginning, which interferes with the partition recognition. It may still work. Best bet, try it. If your partitions are seen, it works.
