Seed Multiple Specific Data on Laravel

I want to seed a database table by using local, s3 and rackspace using database seeder on Laravel. However, if I use this three specific name with the $faker->randomElement() method it just populate the same name multiple time and that's what I don't need. If possible, I also want to set the different value for the different column using s3 or rackspace storage name.

$factory->define(App\Storage::class, function (\Faker\Generator $faker) {
    return [
        'storage' => $faker->randomElement(['s3', 'local', 'rackspace']),
        's3-key' => null,
        's3-secret' => null,
        's3-region' => null,
        's3-bucket' => null,
        'rackspace-username' => null,
        'rackspace-key' => null,
        'rackspace-container' => null,
        'status' => 'active'
    ];
})

What would be the best way to achieve this?

There is a bug in the Faker/Provider/Baser.class, it is using this line of code inside the randomElement Function which is duplicating the same random element over and over for the same instance due to the fact it is using static:: keyword

static::randomElements($array, 1);

I'll report about it, for the moment use this piece of code:

$faker->randomElements(['s3', 'local', 'rackspace'],1)[0]
