When it said disk failed, did it give you any message either on the front screen or in the logs? On some instances the disk may actually be fine, but it may be one sector smaller than the previous smallest disk and will therefore be rejected as being too small.

The only preventative I know of is that when you establish the volume and before you add data, is to swap out a known good disk with the one you are going to keep as a spare. Then if you get this message, you can simply factory default and use the good disk that had been removed as a spare.
