I am building a NAS in RAID 1 (Mirror) mode. Should I buy 2 of the same drive from the same manufacturer? or does it not matter so much?

      Right up until that job to turn the other drive and run the backup stops and then you don’t realize it until 17 months later.

      Either way, RAID ain’t a backup, but it makes losing a drive easier.
