What do you do if power-supply-unit of client goes up into flames?
Integrated extinguisher and Nano-bots for repairing? ;o)

Learn to think positive!

I never tried kernel-raid, but is there no way to calculate missing data
from a crashed HDD by CRC-code (only with one IDE-interface for each
HDD, of course, as a broken slave or master device will corrupt the
other one)?

At this situation I'd suggest you to

1.) do transcoding on the client.

2.) use a write-protected boot-HDD and write logs,etc. on another disk.

3.) build a additional mini-server for redundancy your father can switch
on in case main machine crashes (e.g. a PI 150 with 32 MB RAM and one
low-budget using same IP).

Be creative!
