Dear Johan, But hetzner support told me that data will be lost if connect disk to motherboard controller: "If we connect the HDD's on the Mainboard-controller, they were detected as empty HDD, because the controller write the sectors in a other way, like the RAID-controler!"
But I think that maybe 3ware writes their RAID table somewhere near MBR record. So maybe I have to rewrite MBR and that disk will work on motherboard controller? I have backups, but this is production system, and I want to switch to MB controller with minimal downtime.
