I've heard very similar advice for non-SSD mirrors too. Use different manufacturers or, at the very least, use different batches of disks from the same manufacturer.

Most importantly, never assemble an array from drives that took the same shipping path i.e. came out of the same parcel.

Most people use different batches but the same manufacturer, mostly because they remember advice from back when you could get a hardware raid card that would synchronize your scsi drives.
Also, though, because most serious RAIDs contain more drives than you can find manufacturers of hard drives.
