Many suggest zfs, I want to spend a word on ext4 instead. Solid, reliable, well proven. Does the job and works pretty well.
Been on ext4 on RAID1 for decades, since it got stable. Never had an issue, except when I borked it by my mistake.
It has maybe less features than zfs, but doesn't need external kernel patches or complex tools, and again its solid, well proven and very stable
Edit: ext4 on top of Linux software raid (mdadm)
