Looking for a new solution to backup my raw photos that are currently about 5 TB and have a few questions:

1. Should I use 2 separate external HDDs and sync them from time to time or is 1 enclosure with 2 mirrored HDDs better? I am leaning towards 2 separate ones as it appears to be more redundant.
2. If I get 2 separate HDDs should I buy 2 different brands or is it safe enough to buy 2 of the same model?
3. Anyone here who could share their experience with the G-Drive Project 12 TB?
4. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
