Should I buy 2 of the same drive from the same manufacturer? or does it not matter so much?

Also i never said raid is a backup. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] myofficialaccount@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) JBOD via mergerfs and snapraid on top for parity is a possible solution. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] wazzupdog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago That's a solution i never knew existed, that's cool as hell. permalink fedilink source parent [–] netburnr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Any performance hit for that config, I've never heard of that setup before. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] myofficialaccount@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago Don't know myself as I have no use case for that setup, but it is a well known setup since several years.

I'm sure it depends on hardware but it shouldn't be rocket science permalink fedilink source parent
