How can you increase the disk capacity on a MiniPC?

I already have a 2TB SSD but I would like to have a raid of SSD or NVMe, but I'm not sure what is the best solution for MiniPCs

Any experience with a similar problem?

There are USB enclosures that provide more than 1 drive; what you're after is a 'usb attached das'/'usb direct attached storage'.

Caveat with these is not all of them are the same, and you'll want to validate the chipset they use works for your use case/OS or you can end up with a lovely pile of drives, all with corrupt data. (Cheap is not your friend here.)
