I have a question before I buy soft raid.
I run parallel UBS drives with the same media contents for safety.
The parallelism is now achieve Eve's by daily synch/backup.
Looks like soft raid 1 would be the better solution.
But I want to be able to take one of the drives out every now and then and carry with me to use the media.
I don't want to carry both UBS drives.
The base computer is shut off durInt such off site excursions.
The traveling drive is attached by UBS to a laptop.
Importantly, new media files will be added during the excursions.
Afterwards, reattach and run.
Can I do this or equivalent if I have soft raid 1 on the two drives?
So I want the take one of the raid 1 drive to another machine, and or manipulate files, and bring it back and get everything mirrored again.
Thanks!

Yes you can if you take the primary disk with you each time.
If you take the secondary disk, that would cause the mirror to split into two volumes.
