I would probably do RAID5 or RAID1+0. Either way I am looking at 3-4 drives and possibly a controller plus more fans and a higher capacity psu to run all this. Is it really worth it over simply using a internal or external backup? The only real difference is any performance gain and the fact that you just pop in a replacement drive and the array rebuilds.
I read about all these hard drive failures which is why I am considering this. So far I have been lucky with drives, but as they get bigger and cheaper I think it is only a matter of time before one fails.
