Home user : should I use NAS or regular backup? Lokking for recommendations

Hi all, I need some advise. I recently bought on eBay 2 x 12TB Exos drives from Seagate Enterprise level. This for my brother's photo backup, he currently using 2 x 4TB drives as well as some older drives. Done a small research and drive failure rate for these drives used 24/7 is between 1-2% annually so I should be safe for home use.

After this consideration, should I set to RAID 0 or go the safe road and get a third drive and run RAID 5 for redundancy? Also what recommendations for NAS solutions that don't break the bank?

Thank you.
