Right now ive got two seagate 120gb 7200.7s running in raid 0 on the AN7 sil3112 sata controler. Im getting an A8N with a nvraid and a sil3114 sata controler. Can i just connect up my raid 0 drives to one of the new controlers and not loose data? Will I just have to plug them in, or set up the raid again? Do i have to rember which drive comes 'first'? Or is this imposible and will my raid get destroyed along with the data?

If the new raid controller is not EXACTLY the same as the old one, then you can't avoid losing data, doesn't matter how you hook them up. The downside of onboard raid.

I'd never setup a raid with the onboard controller if you switch mobos frequently and if you have data to keep.
