EMAIL: If the PCs that use mail from SBS were set to CACHED MODE, then you are in good shape - you can simply go to each PC, open OUTLOOK, and export the mail as a PST file. Once SBS is up, you can import those PST files one at a time until you have everyone's email on the new Exchange server.
If you can boot the disk (see below), they you can export the mail as PST files for use on the new Exchange. Agree with Ben, the point of RAID 1 is to have a backup disk instantly available, so you should indeed be able to read (and boot) it by any machine that it can attach to.
