I'm looking to build a RAID system where I can plug my laptop in right into it. Kind of like this
Drobo.
I don't necessarily need it to be a NAS but I want to be able to just plug a USB from that box to my laptop and edit photos / videos from it if I need to.
Would my best option be to buy someting like the drobo instead of building something? It seems quite expensive and I hope I can build something a bit cheaper.
Right now my workflow is just Photos -> Import into External -> Backup to NAS
I want it to be
Photos -> Import to external / copy into raid -> back up to NAS.
