I knew nothing of RAID. Therefore read here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
Reliability is more valuable to me than speed. RAID 0 won't help.
For reliability I need a mirrored 2nd drive in the host; RAID 1 or
higher.
Google of "site:wiki.debian.org raid" returned ten pages, each quite
specialized and jargonified. A few tips to establish mirroring can
help.

Seems more efficient to establish good reliability. Then, if a drive
fails, recycle and replace.
