Raid 1 or Raid 5 happens if you value the data. If you don't, it's tough luck for not respecting the likelihood of failure and losing on the coin toss.

With either of these you can tolerate a single spindle failure and repair the missing drive without data loss.

Neither of these solutions protects you from user error though laugh
