Since you are talking more about data replication and inexpensive
mirroring, maybe your should consider using rsync (http://www.rsync.org).
I personally believe that the price of a hardware RAID is worth every
penny in cnotrast to software solutions, and I rarely ever configure
anything less then RAID-5. Those are personal preferences though...
