              external hard drive system.  (So that would be two 10tb
              hard drives mirroring each other.)  Someone suggested that
              I get a QNAP Tr-002 system (example: <a
href="https://www.newegg.com/qnap-tr-002-us/p/N82E16822099076?Description=qnap%20tr-002&cm_re=qnap_tr-002-_-22-099-076-_-Product&quicklink=true"

              Does anyone know if that is a good system?  It is less
              expensive to get two independent single 10tb external hard
              drives and use a mirroring function available as part of
              Windows 10 to mirror the two drives but someone advised me
              not to trust Windows 10 to do that.  Also, I was thinking
              of getting SAS drives instead of NAS drives, but that is
              apparently a different types of system and I don't know
              much about that.  Any thoughts on these things?  Also, if
              I do get NAS drives, which ones are best?  Thanks in
              advance.<br>
