Be careful with that as well -- many RAID controllers store the RAID config in flash ram on the controller itself, NOT on the drives... Which means that if you hook up the same drives to a new controller, you'll lose all your RAID info in the process and it will consider it a set of brand new blank drives.

Make *absolutely* sure that your RAID solution supports swapping out the controller, and if so -- follow the proper steps. You may need to export your existing RAID config to a floppy on the old controller first, and import it on the new one before hookup up any of the drives. Better safe than sorry.
