Here is the link to the enclosure....

Based purely on the reviews on that link I'd say it will see them as separate drives. No reason why you should lose data I don't think.
However a few people mention that it runs hot despite its "icy" credentials and that it can be a bit finicky. it's a nice idea though if you have a load of bare drives kicking around.
