These hard drives must be compliant with the SATA specification 1.0.

Array Roaming Compatibility
Array Roaming allows the user the ability to move a complete RAID array from one
computer system (for example, computer #1) to another computer system (computer #2)
and preserve the RAID configuration information and user data on that RAID array.
Computer #2 must also have an GDT85x6RZ controller installed. RAID arrays set up with
an GDT85x6RZ controller cannot roam to computers that use other controllers.
