I have a home server with a lot of storage; it's running ZFS with full redundancy. If you're in the US, wait a few months and you can buy an 8TB external HDD when it goes on sale again. WD EasyStore HDDs regularly go on sale [0]. For documents and important files I usually keep an extra copy with two or more cloud storage providers. It's unlikely that these companies would suffer data loss, so the most likely cause for losing access to those files would probably be if they closed my account. Using multiple services reduces the chances of losing access to your files, since it's unlikely you'd be banned from all of them at the same time.
