Sounds like telling, went on the highway with my car capable of
doing >200 km/h, breaks didn't worked at all, I knew but didn't
cared, since breaks are just for losers. Accidentally smashed into
a wall, breaking the car completely, now how can I repair it
easily?
Despite what others already suggested, getting the same
mobo/controller and hope for the best, you have made a rapid
track course, showing what is really important, if your data has
any value: *BACKUP*, *BACKUP*,*BACKUP*...
Disk break, it is not a question if, only when, RAID0 doubles the
probability and controller/etc may fall apart or just a little
mistake as UID 0 and the system is useless in a second.
With todays hd sizes, without $$ equipment like tape chargers/etc
the easiest is to simply get a large cheapo IDE disk, put it in
some USB enclosure and use 'rsync/unison/etc' to sync the data on
a regular base to the backup disk.
Good luck
