[...] Also buy disks from different batches. good point, thank you. One time I ordered a series of harddisks... which all failed in a row (only weeks, maximum a few months difference). They got all replaced, but it was a lot of work.. I then also switched brand. excluding this incidence I have same failure rates for both brands I used (western digital and seagate (both using TDK technology I think, but not sure)). In future I will order identical disks at different vendors.
As regards filesystems, I would choose XFS for integrity.
Of course the other main insurance is to keep separate backups offline!
