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?
As long as you have the ram to run it, I find that ZFS covers most of my needs unless I am dealing with something that necessitates beegfs. My basement server has 12 drives in JBOD, tied together with ZFS, and it works fine.
