Question about moving RAID

I currently have (3) 500GB hard drives setup in RAID 0 (1.5TB) for my OS drive. I just bought a new Intel 160SSD that I want to use as my new OS drive and keep the same RAID 0 for just storage and games. My dilema, the initial (3) 500GB hard drives are plugged into SATA 0, SATA 1, and SATA 2 on my Asus Formula. (X38 chipset) From what I can tell, the RAID 0 is running off of the ICHR9. Can I move the (3) drives from the RAID 0 down one SATA port each (i.e. SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 3) without harming the RAID volume? I want to install the Intel SSD on SATA 0 and install Windows 7 fresh. :\
 
With Acronis TI 2010, and using the bootable Rescue Media, you can clone your RAID 0 array to a single HDD. Once you have that single drive copy, you can do anything you want with the RAID 0 array. My choice would be, get rid of it.
 
I don't know the answer to your question, but it really doesn't matter which SATA ports you use. There's no reason you can't throw your SSD in SATA3 and be done with it.
