Absolutely. Just plug them into whatever SATA ports are available, any mix of motherboard and/or multiple add-in cards (any slot type) etc.. Linux will sort them out into the original RAID.

Try *that* with a 3-year old Adaptec PCI RAID card -- on a new motherboard that doesn't have any PCI slots. Or whatever the slots will be 3-5 years from now.

I'm advocating software RAID here, because it can perform as well or better than "hardware" RAID (which is really just software RAID on an embedded CPU, probably running Linux or VxWorks), and mainly because it's the only safe way to ensure continued access to your data after hardware failures/upgrades.

Use Linux, Windows, OS/X, or a *BSD system -- whatever suits you, though only the first two have universal hardware support.
