"Will they show my existing data files?"
The answer from my experience is no. I've yet to see many RAID arrays survive even when we move the drives to the same chipset and controllers. This is a testament to the addage "we only lose what we don't backup."
But those external RAID capable NAS boxes do work.

The unfortunate happended to me over the weekend. I believe either my motherboard (Asus P4T533-C) or CPU chip (Pentium 4 2.
died since my PC won't boot/POST.
My hard drives (2 Western Digital 120GB 7200RPM Hard Drives; 8MB Cache) are raid configured (no array; the drives act as a single drive) using a HighPoint RAID Controller Card (Rocketraid 133; a 2-channel ATA133 RAID adapter). Does anyone have any suggestions about whether I can put the two drives in an external enclosure and still access them using another PC (or an IMAC)? I see a number of external enclosures that appear to be designed to accomidate raid drives but it is unclear with me if these will work.
Thanks for any help.
