Environment

Operating System

Ubuntu 16.04*
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)

Description

Planning to move a RAID 1 Windows volume to a system that contains Ubuntu 18.04. Will the drive be accessible?

Resolution

In order to move a RAID 1 volume to a different system, the new system must support the following:

  • System (software/hardware) configured to support the same Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RAID driver)
  • The same type of RAID volume

The drive may or may not be available, depending on the Ubuntu OS.  If it is detected, the volume should only be used as a data drive, and the Windows OS should not be booted into.
