1Using the backups you make regularly would be an option if things failed. RAID of any kind is not a backup.– Dave MCommented Aug 3, 2012 at 20:50

@Dave M is correct that RAID is no substitute for backups (e.g. consider theft of the desktop, or fire, ...). As for Intel fake RAID: You need the same (type) of motherboard. Assume that you can no longer access the data when the motherboard fails. If you do not make regular backups, consider software RAID (via drivers, not via Intel fake RAID) or hardware RAID. (The latter is better, often faster and a problem if your RAID card dies).– HennesCommented Aug 3, 2012 at 21:07

Backups isn't an option. I move around and modify gigs of data and I really want to be back and running in no time if a drive fails. Basically, with intel raid I'll need to get same mobo if it fails to recover the data. Aren't there some sort of compatibility between different raid manufacturers?– Pavel PCommented Aug 3, 2012 at 23:26

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
