Hi all. This hopefully is pretty basic to resolve, but as I am a film editor I always get nervous doing updates and could not swim my way through all the old help centre reams of technoinfo.
so ..
1. I have switched iMacs and dont have the promise Utility anymore. Download site? I downloadeda 2013 version but on installation it said its too old and might corrupt the system.
2. I want to take out and store my drives and replace them all for a large music festival i create the films for over 5 huge days and nights. Here is last years batch for a bit of light relief:

Firstly i assume you must keep them in the same order from top to bottom. Once taken out, where is the best place to store the drives? Cant just leave them lying around. Can you get a good storeage case on the market?
3. It currently is setup for editing so I assume the drives are at 7500rpm. No utitlity on this machine as mentioned do cnnot see. So is the R6 capable of using 3tb or 4tb ddrives? I located this compatabilty test document file:///Users/editing/Downloads/Pegasus+R4_R6+Compatibility+List+v1.17-20160311.pdf and its didnt make any sense to me.
4. Finally, once the drives are replaced, I guess the disk utility from Promise will format and array them as i want.
Thanks for considering all thse basic issues and i hope someone can help.
Many Thanks in advance
Justin
