The bit error rates on spec sheets don't make much sense, and those analyses are wrong. You'd be unable to do a single full drive write and read without error, and with normal RAID you'd be feeding errors to your programs all the time even when no drives have failed.

If you're regularly testing your drive's ability to be heavily loaded for a few hours, you don't have much chance of failure during a rebuild.
