My current setup is a iMac 27" 5k from 2014 (yes). It has 512 Gb internal that i use only for Macos and app's. Data is on a raid 1 (2*3Tb) WD MyBook Duo. I've got about 2.5 Tb in use. Further additional 6Tb drive for Timemachine. I use it for all the normal computer work and photo editing and occasional video editing. The WD raid is slow but workable. It is time to move to a Mac mini M4 with 512 Gb internal storage and just like now I want all the data on an external drive. I'm torn between options: 1) OWC Express 1M2 with 4Tb ssd, 2) LaCie 1big Dock 4Tb, 3) LaCie 2Big Raid 8Tb (for speed?). I can use the current WD raid for Timemachine backups. Slow, but it's only backup. I don't think a NAS is necessary and I have bad experiences in the past with connectivity and slow speeds. I don't want to be too nerdy focussed on speed which is an all to obviously trap. What would you recommend and if so which 4Tb ssd to use in the OWC.
Thank you so much.
Kind regards Peter
