Hardware change. will I need to format drives?

I currently have a system running HexOS.

The OS is installed on a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NVME SSD
I have 2 drive pools.
Pool 1 - 2 4TB Ironwolf Pros (mirror)
Pool 2- 2 10TB Ironwolf Pros (mirror)

The system runs on a Intel Core i9-13900K and 128GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM with a 800W power supply.
Yes i know its overkill.

I am now planning to downgrade hardware to something a little cheaper to run. I was thinking of getting a UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus.


My main question is this.
If swap out the Ugreen boot drive, for my 980 Pro with HexOS from the old system, and then plug all the drives into the drive bays. will the system detect that these drives are the same and be able to run without reformatting the drives and wiping my data?


I'm hoping that despite the hew hardware, it will detect the 2 already existing pools and not require a reformat
