I have both of these exact models and they both work fine for copying data to/from individual drives but I would never use the clone function on the dock or RAID together drives connected with USB. That's just asking for trouble. If all you want is to manually drag and drop some files to a single drive, they're fine.
For a more reliable backup with RAID I recommend you have another machine on the network that can be your backup target and use something like Borg with a GUI like Vorta or Pika Backup on your desktop to back it up automatically.
I use Borg Warehouse on my server because it's a single docker container and it can send notifications to my phone and laptop if a host doesn't make a backup when it should. If you don't want to mess with all of that you can just install Borg on the server alone and it will use SSH on the server for authentication.
