>I did have 2 die at the same time: same make and model, nearly identical serial numbers, surprise: same crash date and crash behavior
Out of curiosity, were those Seagate drives?
I bought a couple of Seagate 3TB (spinning rust) SAS drives some years ago, and they both died within a couple weeks of each other after only a few months.
FTR I tried looking it up in chat histories and found the month in which it must have happened, but didn't spot any messages of mine that mentioned the brand :(
I also had two crash almost at the same time, both seagate with similar serials. This was about 20 years ago though, now I don't buy more than one harddrive at a time.
