My friend is a camera operator and is looking to take two SSDs together for a portable raid. AFAIK modern raid like that is an old school approach. I recommended he set up a little server or the easy way out and just look for a JBOD enclosure. Am I wrong? Are there trustworthy enclosures that handle the raid without much set-up today?

    The post doesn’t really say what the goal is, which makes it hard to answer the question.

    • Redundancy to improve storage reliability?

    • Higher bandwidth?

    • Something that can be presented to the camera or a computer as a larger single disk?

      Thanks. It’s intimidating writing a post and what’s unnecessary info. Here’s some more! He deals with high resolution video and photos so speed and higher bandwidth is definitely a priority. Upon speaking to him he seemed to have a natural interest in a raid 1 or more option. I think this is just from surface skimming reading. I know he has 2 disks now ready to go. I think his ideal world is a disk that shows up on various computers as a single disk. He works probably 50/50 MacOS and Windows.

      He is not IT tech literate but is certainly capable of learning and taking extra steps or guides, if necessary.
