Move windows spanned drives to another computer
I'm completely stuck on a project to upgrade the storage on a server.
I need to move the old array to another computer, but it is 4 SATA drives that were spanned in Windows.
Is it possible to move that PCI SATA card and drives to another windows machine and have the spanned volume show up?

That should work, I would backup the data first. When you install the drives in the new computer it will show up in disk management as foreign. Just chose to import foreign disk and the volumes should show up.

I get
INTERNAL Error - The disk group contains no valid configuration copies (C10000B6) in the event log.
Importing foreign disks failed

Only those 4 are in the spanned volume? If that didn't work then the only choice is to back up the volume, move the disks, create a new spanned volume in the new computer and the restore the backup to the new computer.
