I've heard of and have experienced this multiple times.
The stress of rebuilding can push other marginal drives over the edge.
This is why RAID with multiple parity drives is now critical.
Especially with larger and larger drives taking longer and longer to
recover.
I usually have two, sometimes three, parity drives.
I know that they aren't dedicated parity drives any more and that the
parity and data is mixed on multiple drives. But calling them parity
drives is convenient.
