Other hints ...
Don't put more than one ide drive on a single ide channel. A failing
drive often takes out the bus. SATA drives make sense, but SMART
support for SATA is still under development. You should also make
sure that your SATA chipset has got linux support!
Do you have any references about this? I've never seen this happen in
about 50 drives I've seen fail. .. The only time I've seen more than 1
drive go out at once is due to an electrical problem in the system.
I've seen ruined drives on the same power cable, power supply, but not
the same IDE channel.
Perhaps, but a failure in the bus could take out multiple drives
(logically, not physically) and once you lose two drives in RAID 5,
you're done.
