ReadyNas Pro 6 and drive question

Pro 6 with 3 x Barracuda ST32000542AS SATA 3gb/s - starting to get high error counts on one of the drives. Prices for these old drives are crazy. Can get Barracuda ST2000DM001SATA 6gb/s the same size for half the price. Any issue running same size and mfg, but different model in and xraid group? Understand no issue with 3 gb/s controller and 6 gb/s drives, will just run at 3gb/s. Not sure on the different models in xraid, however.

Thank You

    You can use different disk models in the same unit, but be sure to choose disks from the compatibility list.
