Unless you want to go to large scale cluster storage systems, nothing.

Raid is the best way to get disk-level redundancy for a disk volume.

Iโ€™m mainly using RAID 6, but Iโ€™m still using a lot of SATA drives. Iโ€™ll probably need to go with one of the software raids, like z2 when I move away from SATA.

Raid is no longer viable as a performance component, but it is completely viable for redundancy. Large scale cluster storage like Ceph is the way forward for anything larger than what can fit in a single chassis, or a single disk controller. Basically if you have or need more than one 45 drive chassis for storage, look into Ceph.

For everything less, RAID, and if you donโ€™t need redundancy and just want performance, just get a high end NVMe drive and do backups.
