I have seen it happen on my own home ZFS fileserver... purchased two new 500gb drives (WD RE2 enterprise ones), both started failing within a few days. Luckly I managed to get both replaced without loosing any data in my RAID-Z pool. Looking at the drive serial numbers they were part of the same batch.
