You don’t need 4 drive for redundancy, 2 is enough. You only need 4 minimum for a raidz2, or raid 10.
My setup uses a pair of SSD in mirror for apps, and a 5 disk raidz2 (4 data disk + a hot spare) as a main data backbone.
You need two drives for the OS, four for data. Hetzner boxes are cheap with 2 drives, cost multiplies if you add any other.
