I want to know if it's possible to go from Apple Hardware Raid in a Mac Pro using an Apple Raid Card to Softraid. I want to be able to take out the card for good. I currently have it striped Raid 0. The card works however the battery has failed for the 4th time, so I want to rid myself of the problem of a hardware raid.

We cannot mount the hardware RAID volume. You would have to backup, then connect the drives any way, initialize them with SoftRAID and create a new volume.
You may be able to continue to use the card in "JBOD" mode, depending on how bad it is failing, or get a SATA card.
But the disk format for the card is proprietary and we never built a converter for that.
