I just use 2 external USB hard drives which I manually sync periodically. 2.5' HDs seem to fail less often than 3.5" ones, so one of them is 2.5".
I must say that I use Macs, with HFS+. I had file system corruption in the past (that seems a thing of the past with HFS+ by the way), but could bring back the file structure and the files later. And I have had several external HD case electronics fail, but has not lost a single file yet.
As stated above, I do not want a RAID solution either, as their main vulnerability is their electronics failing.
