You should not have any issues. Worst case scenario is that one is slower than the other and will cause the faster one to step down, but unless one is significantly slower, you should have no issues.

I’m using truenas for my homebrew setup. I need to buy 2 more drives and start planning on rebalancing my setup, but this is how it looks right now.

If the drives are good, maybe. If not, you are looking at buying 4 drives from their compatibility list.

Do you already have a storage server? I’m running TrueNAS on a computer I retired a few years ago. I have 4 1TB drives in it and am about to install a used SAS card I got from eBay for $40 to add up to 6 more. It should give me 8tb of space.

I have opened other enclosures and found a custom board on the hard disk.

It works fine. My coworker said the older streaming stick did not perform well.
