Thread: Moving RAID data?

so got new machine using play games, run vm's, , develop on , moving these usages machine did plus run server processes, media storage, , other network functionality(which may move of these things third system)

issue right have 2 raid 1 arrays on old system [616gb free of 1.36tb](soft raid 1) , [158gb free out of 1.81tb](soft raid 1), [3gb of 83.8gb ssd] boot system , [60gb free of 698gb] single drive on win7 system.

have of data, because kept getting drives couple @ time wasn't able start in raid 5 array seems optimal media storage needs(both raid arrays media , file storage). have lot of data, , really don't want attempt collect lot of media, or files, took me years collect. i'm not sure if possible of stuff again.

want move win7 on old machine ubuntu server, , have boot off ssd , run raid 5 array 2 2tb drives , 2 1.5tb drives. move 750gb drive on new system act application drive(it has 240gb ssd booting off of). new system running win7(don't dealing compatibility hassles new games)

don't have experience raid 5, or advanced knowledge of raid management i'm not sure best way new setup without losing of data. might able house clean 20% off each drive, have no idea raid migration, or making raids aren't blank start, or experience in ubuntu.

i'm not sure on having ubuntu server on ssd, issue? randomly read somewhere ext3 writes lot, should use else? going have drop couple hundred on more drives backup?

appreciate suggestions on how this, or shouldn't attempting.
