It's raid rebuild times.

The bigger the drive, the longer the time.

The longer the time, the more likely the rebuild will fail.

That said, modern raid is much more robust against this kind of fault, but still: if you have one parity drive, one dead drive, and a raid rebuild, if you lose another drive you're fucked.
