Hey

I'm moving from Oz to NZ soon and am considering selling my WHS PC before I come back, to avoid having to ship it home.  I'd like to keep the drives however.  If I were to remove the drives from my WHS would the data remain intact and extractable?  

I'm not 100% sure I'll continue with WHS when I come home, I may just go with a standalone NAS as all I need is file sharing and duplication, I don't run any Windows PCs anymore so those features are redundant for me.

Therefore when I get back to NZ I'd like to be able to get a SATA Dock and extract the data from the existing folders on them.  Will this be possible?  Will I be able to see a folder tree?  Or would I need to install the drives in a WHS PC to be able to read the content of the datastore?

I'll be retiring the drives once I extract the data so basically I need to be able to read the content (preferably just via a SATA dock) and copy the data to some newer external hard drives for storage while I source a new NAS and some new drives.  It would clearly be preferable if I could get the external drives before I leave Oz and just copy the content directly from the WHS to the drives but I'm not sure I can stretch the budget to getting the external drives before I leave, so I may just need to come straight home with the WHS drives themselves.

Is this possible?
