The big problem with one data center drive is that if that goes bad, you still lose all your data. You're assuming their marketing MTBF is correct.
They do make NVME raid solutions now -- with the advantage being that NVME can be faster than SATA. And there are various price points for the NVME drives depending upon speed.
This one from 2018 (not sure if it has full raid or uses VROC)(EDIT: it requires software raid)

This one is cheaper but relies upon Intel VROC (which has been hard to get working on some mobo's apparently)

In either case you're looking at max throughput of 11 gigabytes per second, which is roughly 20 times faster than SATA 3's 6 gigabits per second.
Here's one for half that... https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M-2-X16-V2-Threadripper/dp/B07NQ...
This isn't an endorsement. Just an encouragement to shop more. This one says pci-e 3.0, fwiw, but I don't know how important pci-e 4.0 is to you?
