Drive specification
Use an exact model check and workload requirements instead of assuming that every drive in a product family behaves the same way.
Best fit
Parity, rebuild, scrub, and sustained-write scenarios where conventional recording is required by the plan or platform guidance.
Best fit
Only workloads and platforms whose documented behavior supports the exact drive and write pattern.
Decision rule
Treat this as a model-number verification task. Check manufacturer documentation and platform guidance before adding any drive to an existing pool.
