I need to upgrade my backup solution from a single external USB drive to something with a little more redundancy. My options for adding storage are limited and the path of least resistance is going to be continuing to use a USB drive for backing up files. I found 2 products that I think will work, Western Digital My Book Duo or OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual.
The WD is an all in one, but it comes configured as a RAID-0 and I am not clear on how to make it a RAID-1 or how reliable it will be.
The OWC looks like it has more potential. I can configure it as RAID-1 out of the box and I can use my own drives, I was considering using two 6 TB Seagate Iron Wolf Pro Drives.
Has anyone here implemented a similar solution? Was it reliable?
Is there a better way or better product to use?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
