I am building a NAS in RAID 1 (Mirror) mode. Should I buy 2 of the same drive from the same manufacturer? or does it not matter so much?

Okay. Where do you buy the disks?

Ebay. If you’re outside the US, you’ll probably be better off with a more local site.

ebay is very international, and is also by far the greatest site for second-hand stuff in most European countries. I normally buy my used drives there.
