Amen. Bought a pair of brand new disks some years ago, which failed days into the deployment...apparently from a submarine batch. Luckily the array had another, older disk, which kept it up until a replacement arrived.
Brand new disks are particularly troublesome - worth doing a burn-in of hammering them for a few days (or longer if you can take the time) to weed out the worst ones.
