Thunderbolt 3 uses the USB-C cable, so yeah...

Get a Thunderbolt 3 enclosure, (same connector), don't try to save money by going to USB.

One of those enclosures is older, with thunderbolt 2 connector, and I'd like to relocate the 4 drives in that to one of the enclosures with USB-C. Am I able to simply move the drives, and SoftRAID will find them again?
