Is the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual (USB-C, 3-Port Hub) worth it?
The 10 Gb/s link has room for several spinning drives working at once.
Hardware modes are RAID 0, RAID 1, SPAN, JBOD. In a RAID mode the computer sees one volume and the box does the parity itself. It runs off an external power brick and it does UASP, for less USB overhead.
