We had 2 of 3 SCSI drives fail in a RAID a couple of weeks ago - its
hard to explain that to a customer!

It is drifting off topic, but if all the drives in the array where  
bought from the same batch, and it was a bad batch, they could all  
fail at about the same time.

I've seen it happen in non-raid drives, I had a batch of drives all  
bought at the same time, that all went bad within about a week of  
each other. Each was in a different PC so they had slightly different  
up times and usage.

I could see if those drives had been in a RAID array and were being  
stressed equally, they may have all failed within hours or even  
minutes of each other.
