I have not had either for years and years. I use a mature filesystem. Of course, I also run rsync backups.
I had them on all filesystems: ext2, reiserfs, xfs, and of course, btrfs. Not forgetting fat and ntfs.
But the problem is that many home users set up raid, because their main boards have it, in the belief that it makes their data safe. It doesn't.
Well, let's be honest - it does make their data a lot _safer_. Of all the things that can happen to the data on a harddisk, the major risk is harddisk failure (usually exactly 3 years after purchase), and RAID takes care of that (as long as you replace the failed disk as soon as you can).
For data that has to survive long time, it is better to have two separate copies. If on disk, they have to be unpowered. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
