}{ey everybody!
I'm getting ready to switch my home file server over from using a single drive to a RAID array (too much valuable data sitting there without a safety net.)
Anyhoo, my question is does a RAID array have to use disks that have been especially "paired" for the job? In other words, manufactured to be part of a RAID array? Or, conversely, can I use ANY two disks of the same brand and model?
