Hi Semion!

I recommend at least monitoring the health status of the drives using 
smartmontools - with regular short and long selft test - or a similar 
mechanism. So you *may* at least be warned *before* a disk fails.

Otherwise I would go for a redundant RAID array at least so that at least 
one drive in a bunch of drives can fail without data loss.

Regards,
