I operate with a Raid 1 setup which, basically, covers against hard drive failure. If one drive fails you have all your data on the second hard drive.
The only problem I had with the setup was installing the RAID drivers; not sure if this was a problem with my Asus motherboard but once they were installed it was very strightforward. Takes a while for the data to be copied from one hard drive to the other but after that is done you can sit back and forget about it.
I have had one hard drive failure and was pleased(an understatement!) that I had the backup on the second hard drive
