Re:HPE Drive fail at 32,768 hours without firmware update by manls on Tuesday November 26, 2019 @08:24AM (#21638038)
One of the general best practices is to have diversity in the array of drives. It's not for bugs like this though although it helps for bugs like this. It's to ensure that not all disks fail at the same time.

If you use disks from the same batch in a RAID, they would all begin to fail around the same time, because all of them have the same lifetime more or less.
