Your os disks should be raid 1. I’d recommend a pair of onboard nvme or cheap ssds for OS. That’s the part you don’t want to be fighting with if something does go wrong.

It’s trivial to replace a drive on zfs if one fails.

Hardware and software are both really reliable these days. If you’re running something like proxmox then you also get easy snapshots and rollbacks.

Exports fell 27% on an annualized basis as US tariffs on Canadian goods shattered the country’s shipments abroad

27% is pretty significant.

Using unreliable hardware seems at odds with your “just want it to work” requirement.

Maybe truenas.

Personally I just run proxmox at home with zfs for my array, then everything lives in a few vms / containers.

I’ve worn glasses my entire life and only once has trouble, when an optometrist was making my lenses incorrectly.

This sounds excessive, you should go get things checked.

It’s not great, it’s actually pretty ineffective.
