Cheaper, reliable RAID for VMware?

My ESXi 5.0 lab is pretty small, so I'm storing my vmdks on a single local drive. (hypervisor is on a flash drive). Normally I'd make a RAID-1 with the onboard Intel FakeRAID, but apparently ESXi won't see the virtual single drive, only the original 2 disks.

So I'd like to protect my VMDKs somehow. Newegg has stuff like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124052
but it almost looks TOO cheap.

Ideas? Just want to do 2 drive RAID-1

Are you worried about uptime or loss of data? If it is a data issue and cost is a concern just start backing up those vmdks with the free version of veeamzip.
