My Book Studio II drive failed, advice needed

I have a My Book Studio II 2TB working in RAID mirrored mode and one of the 1TB drives has failed. I am looking into buying a WD10EZRX drive as a replacement for the failed WD10EADS drive, which as far I can tell is a newer model of the same drive. I am hoping to drop it in and have the RAID rebuild automatically. Will this work with the other drive which is also a WD10EADS, or do the model number have to be identical?

Many thanks.

Thanks. So just to clarify, I can use a WD10EADS as Disk A and a WD10EZRX as Disk B in a RAID 1 setup without issue?

That’s correct.
