so I ordered the Mercury elite pro Quad raid from OWC without the software (there softwares expensive and ive heard that the trial give you pesky popups to update)

IF
I set this up on my 2018 Mini (BigSir) using DiskUtility using two bays 3 and 4 (my two daughters names)
as Raid "1"
ill get double of what im saving :) i like this :) later I can pull the drives and mail them out

but WAIT--theres MORE

if I shut down my 2018 Mini (BigSir)
unplug the OWC quad

startup my 2012 Mini (Mojave) with the OWC plugged in
can i set it up the same as my 2018? Bay 3and 4? to work the same ?

I think im HOT-Swapping Mini's :) not HDD's

thanks
John
