urbanracer34 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 So right now, I have 3 6TB WD Reds and a 1TB NVME SSD in my server, and since I'm having some problems with my SATA cables, as I was told in a previous support thread, I figured I would add more capacity while I'm replacing the SATA cables. Sadly, my local vendor doesn't have 6TB WD Reds and they are on backorder with their supplier, I would like to add at least 1 6TB Barracuda, which ARE locally available. Are their any risks to switching and mixing brands like this? Yes, I intend to pre-clear the new drives first before they enter service. Quote Link to comment
testdasi Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 For typical consumer uses of Unraid, there is no harm in mixing brand, model, capacity, etc. Quote Link to comment
