Perhaps I should start another thread but since you are on the subject of RAID, NAS etc., what is the best way to backup the laptop which travels in the camper for months at a time? I have been thinking of having two portable hard drives. I would copy an image to each?? The laptop has a 2TB SS drive.
If you're just using this for image backups, than a RAID 1 would work fine. A 2-drive enclosure can be fairly compact such as this Vantec Nexstar GX USB 3.0 - used as an illustrated example as I don't have personnel experience with this enclosure. If you want something even smaller, they do make M.2 SSD stick RAID enclosures.
You don't need to use SSD, lower cost 2T HDD work fine for RAID 1. Personally, I only use a single portable WD Passport HD when I travel. Never had an issue.
