Provided your disks are fine your data should be recoverable.
Here is what I suggest:
1. When you get the replacement unit, put a spare disk (must not be from your array) in it (doing a factory default if necessary) and ensure it's running the latest firmware. If not running the latest firmware, update to that firmware, rebooting when prompted. Be sure to verify the update was successful.
2. Then power down, remove the spare disk and follow the migration procedure I linked to above.
