I literally laughed out loud when you wrote: And please provide the links to what you ordered because you can't be trusted anymore.
I do have 2 USB inputs on my iMac. So my computer will just see it as one drive when I connect the two USB cables? That's awesome.
I bought...

Cancel the first link. And you'll most likely be able to return the adapter (don't open it yet if you haven't).
Because if you have the power cable to the G-TECH and 2 eSATA cables then it's exactly what they would have included with the product and you don't need anything else. I would have recommended this from the beginning if I knew there were 2 drives in a RAID in this enclosure. Otherwise a $20 adapter for one would have been fine and enough.

I don't mind being this specific. It prevents mistakes and I truly appreciate you helping me with this!
What do you mean funny? Like a clown? Do I amuse you?! Huh??!!
It worked. The eBay power supply powered the drive. The 2 Sata to USB cables connected to the drive and then to the back of the computer. When I booted up my iMac, it saw the two raid zero drives as one drive and I was able to move the data to a much newer drive. Thank you so much for helping me figure this out!

I do not have enough skills to help you, but I will follow this thread to see what solution finally helped. I sometimes find myself in different situation where technical advice is needed. And in many cases, I could find response online. I am from https://worldpostalcode.com/united-states/texas/, and I really appreciate that people help each other in this way. It works perfectly.
