It's gonna be behind a 3020j surge protector
A $20 spikebar will NOT protect this machine from a lightning strike
that hits the pole in front of your house.
Take a different view: Mirrored drives and RAID are not really for data
protection, they're so you can keep operating in face of (some types of)
hardware failure.
Indeed, but in reality doesn't it do both?
Not unless you have a very narrow definition of 'data protection'. RAID
won't protect you against bad software corrupting your files, or
accidental 'rm -rf'
The files are currently strewn over a couple of machines all over the
house. I intended on deleting them once pushed to the server
A single copy of your files is not a "backup" no matter what definition
of the word you're using.
