Is it bad to have a slightly older drive in a RAID 5 array?
Is it bad to have a slightly older drive in a RAID 5 array?
I currently have a single Seagate Ironwolf Pro hard drive which I've been running in my NAS for about two years. I kind of want to buy two more drives of the same make and capacity and make it a software RAID 5 array. Is that a good idea? Do raid arrays need to have drives of the same age?
