Better to use multiple cheap devices than 1 expensive IMHO.

IMO, it's better to use multiple expensive devices than multiple cheap. And always use devices from recognized brands, like WD, Seagate, Hitachi, etc. Never ever some unknown brand from China. Only time it's worth using cheap devices is in a RAID6 configuration, but still from well known brands.

 

Also, if backing up is more expensive than the data is worth, there's no point backing it up.
