My file servers is using a ASUS motherborad which has a built-in RAID
controller. I have installed 4 SATA hardisks and run a RAID 0+1 disk array.
Few days ago, the motherborad has problem, the system is hanged during the
windows start-up screen.

1) Is it possible to move these 4 HDs to another motherborad which has a
built-in RAID function, and read all data from the disk array properly?

2) My broken motherboard is old version. I cannot find the same
motherboard. Is it possible to read this RAID disk on other motherboard
with built-in RAID controller

3) Can I use another brand RAID controller?

Please advise.

Another question I want to know. If 2 disks is running on RAID 1, is it
possible to take out one HD and run as normal disk without RAID?

It is rather unlikely that you will be able to move the disks to another
computer and keep the RAID array intact - if you move the disks to another
brand of RAID controller it is almost certain that the array will be
destroyed. You probably should be looking at a non-Windows tool like Norton
Ghost to image the array where it is right now without moving it.
