RAID setup
I would agree with the RAID 5 suggestion. If you had 2 more drives, I would suggest a RAID 1 and 5. On my DB servers, I setup a RAID 1 configuration for the OS and Applications. All data is stored within the RAID 5 configuration.

RAID 5 is the way to go.
Your only other choice with 3 drives is a RAID 1 with a hot spare. While this would be a great fail-over you effectively lose 2 of your 3 disks to redundancy. That's just not good a good idea if you are only doing data storage.
Obviously make sure that the backup stratagy is in place as well in the event of a 2 disk failure. (Yes they do happen)
Best of luck

Or if you are feeling lucky you could try a 3 disk raid 0 for great performance. Great performance and you get that "am I going to lose everything today" buzz every time the server sneezes!
Seriously though.... raid 5.
