Hard drives are an especially bad choice for lifetime reasons, and SSDs don't solve the problem either :P

I don't agree — that's why things like redundancy are commonplace. :D

    That's not a hard drive. That's a system built on top of hard drives.

    And so is perkeep.

      That's incorrect. RAID is a system build on top of hard drives for redundancy. Redundancy (for this use of the word) is simply duplication across multiple hard-drives, which doesn't require a system at all.
