Currently I have a laptop and a messy storage setup, split between laptop SSD, portable HDD, and a very old tower PC HDD. I want to bring it all neatly together, and have it mirrored in RAID 1.
If I was sticking with a laptop the NAS is an easy choice (probably the WD PR2100), but I'm also thinking of building an ITX desktop instead and could just stick 2x HDDs in there. This means I wouldn't need a separate NAS running, but does mean the data is locked to that desktop, which can be more messy in the future.
I want 2x 4TB drives. And the data is used for;
What's the PROS and CONS of each set-up?

I want 2x 4TB drives. And the data is used for;
- Photography (Lightroom)
- Design work (Solidworks, keyshot, Abobe)
- Media (films, docs, misc. storage)
