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?

    mixing drive models is certainly not going to do any harm

    It may, performance-wise, but usually not enough to matter for a small self-hosting servers.

      I wouldn’t mix 5400 rpm drives with 7200 rpm drives, but if the rpm & sizes are the same, there won’t be any measurable performance loss.
