If I swap my boot SSD, do I destroy my Mac's RAID or any other adverse effects to my machine? Ideally, I'd love to plug 'n play the new drive and be on my way.
Background - I have a MP with 5 internal drives, and the RAID is via the disk utility across disks 3 &4:
All my data for both Mac and Windows are on the separate physical disks, so do I run the risk of losing anything? I worry since the Mac RAID is through the OS that blowing out the drive will cause the RAID to "lose its memory" and simply be destroyed taking my data with it.

- Boot - 80Gb X25 partitioned for both Mac and Windows
- Windows files - 1Tb
- Mac RAID - half of 2Tb RAID
- Mac RAID - half of 2Tb RAID
- Time Machine - 2Tb backup of Mac RAID
