Can I still keep my SSD's Raid?

Hey guys I'm moving from a Asus Maximus VI Formula to a EVGA Z97 Classified and I have 3 SSDs in RAID 0 which I'd like to move over to the new motherboard.

I know it's most likely not possible, but is there a way to do it?

If not, it's not a big deal. I just re install windows and back up my current data to a external HDD.

It'd be better to re-install Windows, but you can if you absolutely needed to.

Probably yes, but is not recommended. Motherboards have different drivers and therefore, simply migrating Windwos or using the existent version is never a good idea as it will make you system unstable and possibly cause it to BSOD. The last thing you want is to be working on something important and you system blue-screening.

When you switch a motherboard always re-install windows or you will have issues 

 

Negative. Only when switching chipsets. You can move from board to board typically just fine as long as you stay within the same chipset. And sometimes chipset doesn't even matter much, as long as you stay on intel or stay on amd (whichever you started with) I moved from x48 to x58 with no issues. Windows 8 is great about this, windows xp is a bit more picky.

Positive actually 

I had a z97 pro and then I got a z97 sabortooth and had issues (same cpu) then I did a fresh install and all my problems were gone

Well then you're the exception, or you were on windows 7. That, or you had IDE on your drive from your z97 pro, and the sabertooth defaulted to AHCI. Or viceversa.

No I mean, IDE setting in your bios. Not the connection type.
