if you don't want to shell out money for a RAID controller, the best route would be RAID 1

this way, if you lose one of your drives, you can simply swap it out and it will automatically start copying to the new one

also, don't forget cloud services, you can store all of your files on a file server (they will have way more redundancy than you will ever have) and pay a monthly fee to make sure they don't lose them
