Hi,
A recommendation I read quite regularly is to choose drives from different vendors (e.g. WD, Seagate, HGST etc.) for your NAS/server in order to be safe from getting all hard drives from the same bad "batch".
If I have a look on most builds here in the forum though, people normally tend to buy all hard drives from the same vendor and model (mostly WD Red).
So what do you think about choosing drives from different vendors, is it a good idea or not?
Thx,
