Can I transfer my RAID hard drives from one enclosure to another?

Details:
I have a 1 TB storage RAID enclosure, that uses e-sata cables to connect to pc.
I have one light out on the RAID device and was wondering if I need to buy another RAID enclosure and put the harddrives in the new one.
Will this work?
It depends on what type of RAID is being used. If it’s mirrored (RAID 1), then it should work. If it’s striped (RAID 0), it might not. I would just buy the same brand/model of the enclosure if possible. Backup your stuff on it before hand just to be on the safe side.
