Not quite that, but I have seen a new array populated with new drives from the same batch have a drive fail and while the replacement was being populated another drive failed. Fortunately it was a new array undergoing testing before going into production so there was no data that mattered on it. For home use I go for second hand 3.5" enterprise grade SAS drives. They've usually been used in nearline backup servers and similar low load environments and are nicely run in past the front of the bathtub with most of the flat bit still to go. I've had less trouble with these than with any big name consumer drives and they cost a lot less. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
