Hi I tried to Migrate a Raid 0 Soft Raid disks from the internal Mac Pro 2009 drive bays to use in an iMac 2020 using a
OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual but I get a Drive not recognize error!! I tried using the Individual and the Raid 0 switch in the
OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual and in individual mode I get 2 pop up windows and with the Raid 0 switch I get only one!! I have Installed Soft Raid in the 2020 iMac. Any ideas? Does this is compatible or I need to back up the data and reformat the drives as Raid 0?

Put it back into the old Mac Pro and make sure the volume is OK still.
If it is, then you can try again.
Then make sure the Dual is set to "JBOD". You cannot mix hardware and Software RAID. I do not know in thi instance, but often hardware RAID overwrites parts of the disk to enable its 'features'. Hopefully not here.
Its also not obvious how to change the settings. read the manual carefully, you cannot change by just moving the switch that would cause accidental data loss, so we have a procedure that must be followed to activate a change in state.

Attach a SoftRAID tech support file and we can see if there is something we can do or not.

This is difficult, as the partition maps were wiped. I will ask engineering to take a look. If it is easy, we can do it if it is difficult, we may need the drives and there would be a charge.
Is this data not backed up at all?

I have not heard back from engineering. There is still a chance, I should know in the next day or so.

Engineering is backlogged with other issues, so has not looked at this yet. Perhaps today.
