Please - I want to buy 2 2TB SSD 2,5" drives to use them as 4TB space.
I do need an enclosure witch USB3 fro my Mac. I would like it to be as fast as possible.
I do not want any DROBO solution because it wastes too much of HDD space.

Yes I am. This is for reading samples (mostly for reading data) as I am musician and want to put virtual instruments on it - so I need a very quick read access.
I am confused because:
My friend uses Drobo Mini with Thinderbolt on A Mac. The idea is not so nice because this Drobo always reserves 20% of capacity of SSDs for recovery. And it is very expensive.
So I was thinking of USB3 (I own MacBook Pro Retina) - but my question - will THIS solution

be much slower for reading times on USB3?

Ideally I would like to have 3T raid 0 or 2x2T.

The solution must be portable the more the better.
You are telling me that every dock will do- but what are transfers? How can know enclosure's manufacturer has not put inside any poor chipset. Which one - can you recommend?

And again I do not care writing times only reading. For now use https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-Passport-Portable-External-Drive/dp/B00IZFX5OA My Passport Pro 4G not SSD but my friend has told me there is something like 6 or more times difference in opening projects between MyPassport Pro and DroboMini.
What should I go for?

I read all he technical data but am still confused.
