Unfortunately using all the same type of drive in any kinda of system is a recipe for disaster. Incompatibilities between the drive firmware and the device they're in can cause problems. Subtle harmonic issues with how the drives are mounted, which might be fine for some drives and disastrous for others. I've always found the best strategy with mechanical hard drives is to have various brands and models in the same device on RAID.
