Migrating drives to new enclosure

Unfortunately one of the fan bearings has failed on my 8 month old OWC Express 4M2.  I wish they had used Noctua fans.  I am being sent an advanced replacement, and want to migrate the SSDs to the new enclosure while maintaining the RAID 5 array.  What is the process for this?  My assumption is that I put the drives in the new enclosure in the same order and SoftRAID will recognise it, and take care of it from there perhaps needing to validate.

The order of drives does not matter. Just carefully remove and replace into the new unit. Note that NVMe blades are more fragile than they appear and minor flexing can cause long term issues, so handle carefully.
