How?

I mean, I can see a power issue taking out all at once. It could be that. What other way would 3 disks fail at once?

All SSDs were from the same batch and had the same amount of writes on them and all failed in a very small window. It's a known issue with consumer drives.

Good to see that I'm not paranoid for explicitly using drives of different vendors in my RAID at home.

Luck? And hence it makes the news because such bad luck messes things up? We all know drives fail, I'm not surprised this happened somewhere on the planet. I would be surprised if it happened to me.
