Guys
Last year I purchased 8 TB of NVMe storage from B&H for my MacPro 5.1 see below;

I am now considering buying a new Mac mini to replace my old MacPro. I am wondering if there is such a thing as a housing that I could put the above storage in so that I could use it with a thunderbolt cable with the new Mac mini.............If there is such a thing could you please send me a link for it?
Would the above (if there is such a thing) be a good option for storage with the Mac mini or would I be better off getting a regular external hard drive?
Thanks in advance

I'm running an OWC ThunderBay 4 with 2 x spinners and 2 x SSD drives - I find it quiet and efficient.

This OWC Express 4M2 model might suit your needs if you especially want/need NVMe:
 
Question
When I put the 4 x 2TB sticks in my cMP I joined 3 of them to make a 6TB RAID (I think that's what they called it) will that RAID get messed up when I take them out of the cMP and put them into a new enclosure.......if so what about the media that I already have stored on these NVMe's?
How can I transfer the Nvme's safely without loosing data?
Thanks

Neil
