By running statistics on a large enough infrastructure you can see how frequently 2 hard drives in the same raid fail within days, or even hours!
Same brand, same batch, operating time, running temperature, even same vibration does trick. :(
- chiph 10y agoWe had 3 hard drives (the legendary IBM DeathStars) from the same production batch fail within hours of each other. Part of me was like "Yeah! Awesome quality control!" and a larger part was like "Oh shit." We ended up losing the array and had to restore from backup.
