Intel Onboard RAID, swapping mobos

So, somewhat of a silly question. I've got a RAID0 array created with two SSDs in my desktop. Due to some issues (see my other thread for details) I'm shortly going to be swapping motherboards. I'll be going from Z77 to Z87. My understanding is that the onboard RAID features write some data to the member disks to identify them, so I'm hoping that the RAID array will be intact when I put the new motherboard in.

Can anybody verify if this is the case, or is it a loss? It's not the end of the world as I have a backup for everything important and doing a reinstall won't take long. But it'd be faster to have the RAID array working so I can boot from a LiveCD and dump a copy of my data locally (my backups are in the "cloud" and take awhile to download).

Thanks.

That can work it is very flexible when running intel raid in the different platforms , been using intel raid from p865 / p45 /Z77 .The data arrray moved up and the os disk simply placed new drivers . The data array where hd and is now ssd , but i think the raid driver and meta data is basicly upwards and downwards compatible .
