Using mirrored RAID (RAID1) drive with multiple MBPs running Yosemite?


with apologies if dumb question, once hd (a lacie tb drive 2 500gb hds) set mirrored raid using disk utility, can use 2 different macs (both running yosemite) or on mac i've used create raid? on top of tm , backblaze, want use critical files time time on both machines , store separately computers located. 500gb enough storage (mainly want preserve photos , docs; else replaceable) both computers, , thought mirrored raid secure.

thought encrypting hd, not sure how if i'm using on 2 different computers, unless there's program outside of os x can that. if has recommendation, i'd appreciate that, too.

in advance.
 

you can use raid set on mac running version of os 10 (pretty sure, os since mtn lion). in fact can set mix of drives on different interfaces... long drives of set available, os take care of mounting raid volume you.

encryption same story if use disk utility, @ least since mountain lion, based on passphrase set.

if there different user accounts (log ins) on different machines, need think if want users access files, or set similar machine several users, each own space.
