Need assistance w/ RAID enclosure pls

I'm looking to buy a RAID HDD enclosure for when I get back to Cali this summer. I bought this thinking it was RAID when in fact it's not. They do make a RAID version but unsure and am looking for guidance.

I was looking at a few others such as the Drobo 5D but the reviews on Amazon are all over the place and the only consistency I see out of it was that either customer service sucks or the device is defective.

My intent is to store mostly family pics, family videos, our entire movie library, and some other misc. items while still having enough HDD space available for backups. I currently have four 4TB HDD ready to go but can purchase more if need be. I need to have at LEAST 12TB for everything.

Thoughts please.
