Even the most reliable components can fail at any given moment.
Therefore, unless one is talking about larger quantities (say, 100 disks
or so), reliability (or failure probability) doesn't make much sense...
You are probably concerned with the *availability* of your server. It
will never be 100%, but you may try to make it as close to 100% as you can.
As far as disk subsystem is concerned, I would use hardware RAID-5 and
SATA disks. Keep one more identical controller and a spare disk
available too.
