This is a question best answered by Promise technical support. I would guess
that it is entirely possible to mount your old RAID 0 array with the new
controller but, since this controller is new, it is unlikely that many people
have tried your exact situation. This is why your best bet is Promise.
I'll spare you the lecture about tape backup, especially when using non-fault
tolerant drive configurations. ;)
