All of your settings and the OS (RAIDiator) are on the drives. So when you remove the entire set for your current array, when it sets up the single drive it will be all defaults. Then when you shut down the Pro and restore the original set of drives, all the settings and current version of RAIDiator will be there. Just make sure that the unit is OFF when you do this.
This was the only thing I could think of as it is entirely possible that when a drive is initialized on some other OS, such as NTSF, that even after the partitions are removed, there is some signature occupying a sector. I would be interested in the results.
