I’ve heard just in general. The resilvering process is hard on all the remaining drives for an extended period of time.
Comment on Can I use two different drives?

So you’re saying I should be running RAIDz2 instead of RAIDz1? You’re probably right. 😂

I made that switch a few years ago for that reason.
That said, as the saying goes, RAID is not a backup, it should never be the thing that stands between you having and losing all your data. RAID is effectively just one really dependable hard drive, but it’s still a single point of failure.

So you’re saying I should be running JBOD?

Yup. Same age, same design, same failures… and array rebuilds are super intense workloads that often force a lot of random reads and run the drive at 100% load for many hours.
