Mixing Seagate IronWolf drives in a RAID5

#2
Certainly! Yes, you can mix the Seagate IronWolf drives in your RAID5 setup. While there is a slight difference in speed, with the IronWolf ST4000VN006 having 202MB/s compared to the IronWolf ST4000VN008's 180MB/s, the variation might not be noticeable when using a 1GbE LAN connection in a RAID configuration. If speed and IOPS are critical for your use case, then sticking with the original drives might be preferable. However, if you're looking for cost-effectiveness and don't require the maximum speed, the cheaper IronWolf ST4000VN006 can be a suitable addition.
