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?


He already owns 2 8tb 2.5inch SSDs he is looking to house
Personally, I’d have some sort of enclosure that could also house a raspberry pi and similar, which mounts those disks in ZFS and shares them via NFS. That’d ensure compatibility with any OS, but it might be overkill.
