In my case even mixing up the disks might not help but I agree it’s still helpful.
I bought 4x Seagate Ironwolf Pro 12TB drives from different vendors, one failed after a year, then when I got the replacement another drive failed during the rebuild, and then 6 months later the replacement failed. Now another one of the original drives is also reporting reallocated sectors.
Same system has 4x WD Red drives which have been running fine with 0 reallocated sectors for almost 7 years.
