transferring a raid1 array to another board

for example:

my raid1 setup is currently using an nforce4 board. If I move it to a newish intel (975 and above) board, would the data disappear? how about transferring to a newer nforce chipset?

also any thoughts of moving from intel to nforce?

In all cases, the motherboard will be configured to recreate the raid1 array again after transferring the HDDs. Also I have a single HDD that contains the OS.

thank you
 
Assuming you have a RAID1 mirror, your data will be fine (I say that because sometimes people confuse RAID0 and RAID1 mirror/stripe).

If the array is your boot dirve, don't expect it to just boot up, but if it's adata drive you'll be able to access the data. Note that it will no longer show up as a RAID array anymore, just 2 hard drives with identical contents.
