Buying the same brand / model drives is not a wise idea, especially if all are bought at once. Any manufacturing defects will be amplified and could cause a RAI

Buying the same brand / model drives is not a wise idea, especially if all are bought at once. Any manufacturing defects will be amplified and could cause a RAID array failure due to losing multiple drives in proximity to each other.
- tfigment 7y agoYou are not wrong and I knew better but I was build for first time and bought all at same time. Now it's a mix of HGST, WD, Toshiba. Some are 34000h, with no issues. The WD is slower when data scrubbing but I don't trust WD for many years and that one was because other vendors were out of that size. I don't really know who to trust in that space any more so it's Toshiba for me on any new replacements.
