I currently have a Pegasus R6 with 6x4TB drives connected by a Thunderbolt 1 cable to a 2012 Mac mini running Mojave 10.14.6. The volume is seen as being 16TB by macOS.
Everything is working fine (outside of unplanned power outages during the L.A. wildfires) and so I'm a bit loathe to touch anything, but this Mac and the OS are a bit long in the tooth at this point.
If I bought an M2 Pro Mac mini, would I still be able to use the Promise with it? Assuming the M2 comes with macOS Sonoma or Sequoia. I'm assuming I would need an Apple Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 cable/adapter, and hope it Just Works™️ with the Thunderbolt 3 port on the M2.
Are there any other issues? Would my existing Promise Utility work with it? Or would it require a newer version or some other software to manage the RAID with? I see references to "DEXT"s in some posts, but I'm not familiar with it.

BTW I wish I could upgrade to a Pegasus32 R6 unit (since it has Thunderbolt 3 to match the M2's TB3 ports), but even empty ones go for $1,400 on eBay! :-O I also have a 6-bay Synology NAS that only cost half that much ...
