Good luck doing that at scale though. You can mix things up to some degree (and probably should) but if you need thousands of drives you're going to end up with lots from the same batch.

Instead of ordering 5k drives of a single model, you order from 2-3 manufacturer, and split the order between 2-3 different models from each, and build each array from one drive from each distinct type of drive.
