I don't know how to write this without upsetting quite a lot of people, but RAID!???!
I run Redundant disk controllers and hard drives on ZFS. And it's cheaper than a decent RAID system.
First thing I do with a new server is disabling RAID.

I hope you see what I'm getting at. While I love ZFS and think self-hosting can make a lot of economic sense, without knowing all the variables you can't really make a fair comparison.
