Need input on RAID 1 configuration

[AlwaysOptimisti]

Hi There

I'm looking for an external storage bay to plug into my iMac, to back up, up to 3TB of data

I'd like to be in a RAID 1 configuration that mirrors one drive to another - ideally reasonably priced, and with seamless Mac integration. This was a recommendation from a friend, so I would like it to be ‘easy’ plug-and-play style with minimal configuration.

Any suggestions? All the devices I’m looking at on Amazon seem to have quite bad ratings.

Thanks in advance!

LaCie 2Big - I have a 10TB 5Big (as well as previous LaCie 2TB models) with no complaints so far. Relatively silent, good design and seamless integration with Macs.

I have had good luck with the OWC "Guardian MAXimus", which can be purchased in various capacities or as a drive-less enclosure.
