assuming don't re-initialize array, data remain. :d

i'm not sure why you'd need anyway (re-initialize array, you've not indicated it's failed or failing). presume os on separate disk (so there'd no need perform such step).

if os on array, re-installation wouldn't hurt, can't reformat either, unless it's separate partition on array (i.e. made boot partition of outer tracks, typically 10%, though in case, wouldn't need big; 250gb more sufficient os , application data).
