USB connected drives work fine - until they don't ... I learned that the
hard way 15 years ago [LVM done that way and you'd lose a drive ...].

Also, most of the USB connected solutions rapidly become very, very slow with
throughput - USB is not the best I/O solution for drives. [Very expensive
USB3 drives perhaps - Corsair flash voyager GTX]

All the very best, as ever,
