Based on the statistics they gathered, they recommended a policy of replacing drives every three years regardless of whether they're failing yet.
Consider staggering your replacement schedule for disks in a raid set so that they are out of sync and so not likely to die in quick succession.
So in a raid 1 pair, replace alternate disks every 18-months, even if that means replacing the first disk early.
But like many nice ideas, this one only goes so far: after a few cycles you can't get matched replacement disks and a bit later technology likely changes enough you need to rethink everything.
