EX2 Chassis Swap to EX2 Ultra?

A lightning strike has taken out the ethernet port on a MycloudEX2, which appear to be no longer available. Unfortunately, WD seems to use proprietary drivers so a WD machine may be necessary to recover the data.
If the two drives are swapped into an EX2 Ultra chassis will the data be accessible?
Thanks, JB

I believe this will work provided that the drives weren’t corrupted by the lightning strike/power surge. Be sure to put drive 1 in the drive 1 position and drive 2 in the drive 2 position in the new box.
