We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I was originally planning to have this enclosure setup with BTRFS mirror for self-healing backup, but it seems to be unsupported by BTRFS to do this with external drives. While it may be possible, it takes quite a bit of configuration on every system I plug it into.

So, I'm wondering what to do with this dual 1TB SSD configuration.

Maybe RSYNC setup to sync certain data to both drives or just one on plugin?

I'm not sure how good the built-in mirror tech is to just use that, pretty sure that would take away smart data too(?)

Are there any dual-bay enclosures I could use in that way, which would have self-healing properties on hardware raid?
