If any HDD springs a bad sector and you discover it 6 months later when you cannot read an important file, just hope your backups go back that far. By my calculation the cost of extra HDDs + learning how to setup and manage mdadm RAID (or ZFS RAID) is much less than the hassle of recovering data from backups (if there is anything to recover, otherwise the cost of eating complete data loss). > 5.
