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?

    So you’re saying I should be running JBOD with backups instead of RAIDz1? You’re probably right. 🤭

      As long as you’re ok with it being way less dependable, and having to rebuild it from scratch more often 😉.
