(In theory, as I don't run a storage farm) RAID6 might help here since if the disk rotation triggered a failure you'd have a second parity disk to fall back on. However ideally all the disks in an array would be from different lots.
Or, I believe that on some RAID controllers it is possible to add a third disk to a RAID1 pair, which means you could build the new disk before removing either of the old ones, thus there is never a single point of failure even during the disk replacement operation.
