Another possibility may be , perhaps , as follows :

Attach these disks to your system(s) .
Prepare rsync containing shell script(s) .
Using cron , execute these shell script(s) to synchronize your disks
suitable to your needs.
Updates may not be instantaneous as RAID , but at least are working with
respect to your design .


With my best wishes for all of you ,
