I also had two mirrored drives fail simultaneously in my zpool a few days ago. There was nothing on them so I wasn't worried. WD Reds in my case;

Using matched drives seems to be a very bad idea for mirrors. I'll probably replace them with two different brands.

I also have a matched pair of HGST SAS Helium drives in the same backplane so hopefully I can catch those before they fail too if they're going to go at once, I _do_ have data on those.
