A: Yes you can occupy just two of the four bays. You may have limited options when upgrading to 4 drives later.

Q: 8. Dot the drives in this device have different lots and dates of manufacture, so they don't die within days of each other?

A: It will really depend on when WD manufacturer's the unit. MTBF will differ based on usage. The more reading and writing you do, the closer you get to a drive failing. However, if used normally, even with constant read and write, you should hopefully get 3-5 years with no issues.
