Can I use two different drives? - eviltoast

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?

    ram matters because the CPU will use the worse speeds and worse timings of all the sticks, drive reads and rights are buffered so it doesn’t really matter

      Just make sure your RAM has the same timings. Its not a big deal if you have two sticks of each brand
