moving from Mac Pro to iMac 5K-need advice about external drives

[denno]

Need some advice about moving my current config to an iMac-

I currently have a Mac Pro with:

-internal 1TB hard drive for user folder
-PCIe SSD (startup drive and Lightroom catalog)
-Drobo 5D (hard drives for backup and additional storage (iTunes library, etc.))
-internal Raid 0 with 2 hard drives (Lightroom images)


I am switching to an iMac 5K with SSD.
-I was going to put the PCIe SSD in an OWC Helios 2 case and connect with T2.
-The Drobo can connect via T1 or USB3.
-I was going put the RAID drives in an OWC Elite Pro Dual but that's only T1 or USB3. Not sure if I should get a box that uses T2. (Or just transfer what's on those drives to the Drobo.)

For two drive sin RAID 0 you won't get any better performance in a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure, so the Elite Pro Dual would be fine.
