VERY INTERESTING!!!
We had a similar episode with an IBM Shark (I believe) machine. It said
that two drives failed simultaneously,. The first time required a
complete rebuild. The second (in 3 months) got IBM's attention. The
problem was with the controller. We wound up needing to replace the
controller and then discovered that neither drive was actually bad.
Ooops.

So have we.
On the other hand we've had an IBM FAStT & EXP enclosure (or whatever they're
called today) which lost 2 SCSI drives (one in the main unit and one in the
EXP) within a minute, both in the same RAID-5 array.
Fortunately we coaxed one of them back into life long enough for the array to
rebuild onto the hot spare, swapped the dead one out, failed the other
suspect drive, rebuilt and replaced that one.
Turned out they were both manufactured on the same day..
