So you can save your money and use software raid directly.
I'll bow to your better knowledge, to be honest I come from a server/infrastructure background rather than pure home use only. I use "End Of Life" server hardware at home for backups so I guess I'm spoiled when it comes to hardware.

The last cheap (<€50) RAID card I used for a "home" machine implemented its RAID levels in hardware, so I just did a Google search for something similar.
