It's A Digital Disease!

My external disk is thin on space - and no backup yet. So I need a backup solution pretty fast.

My plan was to by a hard disk enclosure. Use it with btrfs and raid 1 with two bays (each 16 tb), and then maybe use a third bay for weekly back up. The raid sonic icybox ib 3805 looked cool: Usb 3 gen 2, UASP and solid build quality / weight. But now I can see that the controller (ASM1051E) is know not to work well under linux with regards to uasp.

The box will connect to a dell optiplex 7080

Can you guys recommend another enclosure? And maybe comment on the general idea? I plan on buying refurbished seagate exxos drives.

I am located in the EU.
