This was common knowledge on the internet before the "modern web" era. Never use in a RAID disks from the same vendor. When you have to use disks from the same vendor try hard to get different type/ batches. And backup.

I very intentionally bought two Samsung ssd from different countries, so I would get different batches. They show up on my door. Same batch, only a few hundreds apart in their serial number :(

If you had tried to get two that close in production, I think you’d have struggled. I didn’t bother and got drives off the stack and bought both, and they are a long way apart.

Wrong. The advice is to use the same vendor/model but from a different production run (batch).
