So ask yourself: in a home server, just what does RAID give me? Are
you really bottlenecked for speed in a way that RAID will improve?
Perhaps RAID can help with High Availability (and perhaps not) -- is
that what you are hoping for? Just don't think of it as backup.

Hmm, I was looking at it more as a High Availability than backup. I already have a 2TB external disk for backup.
at least my experience so far with the current Caviar Blue 750G has been good (5+ years, no problems), The replacement is a Caviar Red so in theory it should be more reliable, maybe I can get away by not using a RAID ( dang, I really wanted to practice with one).
I guess four partitions (OS1, replacement OS1, swap and data) where data="" system instead of ext4 should be more than enough. On the other hand, do I REALLY need ECC memory to make ZFS work as this article suggests? (http://www.firewing1.com/howtos/fedora-20/installing-zfs-and-setting-pool)
