Formerly "Volume Degraded" drive is now fine after recovery
One of my drives recently said "volume degraded", (Western Digital Red, WD40EFRX) but then after a few days of automatic data recovery, the disk reads as healthy. I had started an RMA with WD, but should I send it back? Even though it says healthy now, should I worry about it? The 4 drives (4tb each) are in RAID 5, so data wasn't lost in the process... I dont want to send something back if i dont need to

Have you looked at the smart stats?
Using the green icons in RAIDar or the web ui isn't a good way to assess disk health.
OH good call. Just checked the logs... opened up "status" file. Is this what you mean? Below is some recent logs from it
