I'm building a new server here at university and I suggested that we use two different SSDs in RAID 1 (mirror) to avoid both drives failing at the same time because of some inherent manufacturing error.
For example Intel's 120GB SSD and Kingston's 120GB SSD.
I had read somewhere it was a good idea to use two different drives in RAID 1. If one of them fails because of some inherent drive issue, then it's unlikely that the other one will fail at the same time.
Is my suggestion good or not?
