Just a couple of weeks ago, I upgraded my home storage system from 9 disks (4x3 raidz) from the same manufacturer with partially consecutive serials.
Now its 18 disks (3x6 raidz2) from 3 different manufacturers and every vdev has 2 of each. And the vdevs are physically evenly spread throughout the case.
I sleep so much better. It was kind of a miracle the first setup survived the 4.5 years it did.
