RAID won't help you when your files get corrupted or something eats the partition table

just be sure to keep a copy on a separate disk, doesn't even have to be RAID. RAID is really for high availability which isn't usually necessary for consumers. You can suffer a drive failure if your data is synced to another device on a regular (hourly?) basis. Your downtime is just the time necessary to replace the disk. RAID only eliminates that downtime, not any other source of data loss
