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?

JBOD via mergerfs and snapraid on top for parity is a possible solution.

Any performance hit for that config, I've never heard of that setup before.

Don't know myself as I have no use case for that setup, but it is a well known setup since several years. If teh performance was bad it wouldn't be recommended as an alternative as often.
