I have 2 thunderbay enclosures set up with drives in a raid array connected to a 2017 iMac Pro. I am trying to replace the iMac with a Mac Mini including moving the drives to be connected to it. How can I move the drives to the Mac Mini and keep the drives and RAID configured the same?

 

configuration:

thunderbay 1:

Drive A - main volume, primary disk

Drive B - main volume, secondary disk

Drive C - main volume, secondary disk

Drive D - working volume, primary disk 

 

thunderbay 2:

Drive A - cc 1 primary disk and cc 2 primary disk 

Drive B - cc 1 secondary disk and cc 2 secondary disk

Drive C - cc 1 secondary disk and cc 2 secondary disk

 

I didn’t configure this originally, it has kind of fallen into my lap. Any guidance anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

There is no special information on your disks special to the MacOS install, so you can just move them. Also, the "order" of the disks in the enclosure makes no difference. You can also put them in different enclosures and they will work properly.
