Hello again!
I am quickly approaching the point where I will order the hardware for my FreeNAS. :)
I want to go with 10TB NAS drives, however one thing that I read frequently is that using the same model/manufacturer for a raid increases the risk of multiple drives failing at the same time, especially during the rebuild process which puts extra stress on the remaining (old) disks.
So I was wondering what you guys think about this. Does anyone of you use drives from different manufactures to minimize the risk of having multiple drives fail? If so, what are the downsides of doing that?
Thanks again for the help I already got here in the forums! :)
