In my case, I used to have both a Seagate and Western Digital in a RAID1 array. The seagate failed and I replaced it with a WD. One advantage of having drives of different manufacture, is that there is a low chance of simultaneous failure, where if you get 2 drives with the same lot number, both drives have a higher potential for simultaneous failure. With RAID1 just make sure the partition sizes are the same. [ but this is a bit OT]
