[smartmontools-support] Recommendation for supported multi-bay USB RAID enclosure

Hello,


I want to extend the disk space on my Intel NUC based home server with 
an USB hardware RAID enclosure that shall run in RAID 1 mode.

The wiki contains information about supported raid controllers[1] and 
supported USB devices[2], but unfortunately the lists cannot be sorted 
by date because there is no date column - this makes it hard to find 
current USB devices that could work.

Does someone have a recommendation for a USB RAID enclosure that 
supports monitoring SMART information of individual disks, even when in 
RAID 1 mode?
