I think that's why you don't consider it unthinkable to carry around
such a thing along with your laptop.
What you're suggesting looks like the following to me:
- I go to my favorite café to work for the afternoon [ ah, the good ol'
days before covid! ]
- I take out my laptop
- I start to wo.... oh no, wait, I forgot, I also have to:
- take out my RAID disk
- plug it in
- notice that it needs power
- take out its power adapter
- look around to see where on earth I'm going to plug it
- wonder why I bother carrying a laptop with a battery if my drive needs
a power outlet

So we're back at square one: your laptop wouldn't have a RAID drive and
neither your root partition nor your $HOME files would be protected
by RAID. I'm glad we agree ;-0
BTW, if you care about RAID and about having a laptop, there are many
good options out there for laptops that can take two internal drives
(either 2x 2½" or 2x M.2 or a mix of the two).
