No, I don't own one, but if I did that would be the one. I've installed a dozen of them for friends and colleagues, and I only have great things to say about them.
But this is not a backup solution - it is redundancy. A proper backup solution involves a bit more. Too much to go into here - but if you google "what is a good backup strategy" you'll learn a lot.

Thanks Gene51.
It does look like Synology is a better solution.
Any recommendation on sizes/models? Or types of drives? Seagate vs. WD?
Synology offers a "photo" organization/catalog program. Not really what I need as I use Capture One for editing and organizing.
1. Make and keep/store a current copy of what's on my laptop hard drive. (1 TB)
2. Be a place to store older photos (processed and raw) in 2 separate places (not on my laptop) in case one drive fails. Probably 4TB of data currently. I see this growing to 8TB.
