FWIW, I took a 4-disk SSD-RAID0 out of a non-booting system and put it into another, same model machine, and was able to boot it flawlessly.
I just realized you said same model PCs. That would work with NVMe too. The entire model of PCs should either have, or not have NVMe boot support. An NVMe SSD is portable among all PCs that have NVMe boot support in the bios. I know X99 and X299 variety motherboards have NVMe boot support, but I assume many others do as well at this point. The easiest way to tell is to see if they have M.2 PCIe slots or not. If they have the slots, they should have boot support. A quick google finds this $70 MB with an integrated M.2 slot: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157689 As I said, it is no longer exotic tech.
