Why are you asking over and over? Just get the Ironwolf. It'll work fine.
Users here have had a better experience with Ironwolf than Barracuda.

I can't see your pictures until a moderator approves them, so can't help a lot with the root problem. But I can say that cloud backup will take an eternmity and you may not have that amount of time. Doing a local backup now while you still have access to the files is the right approach.

It looks like the resync failed on disk 4 (per the first screenshot). The second one says a disk test is in progress, it's not clear what the timing is. However, it looks like disk 4 might have failed. The best way to confirm would be to power down the NAS, and connect the disk to a Windows PC, and test it with SeaTools. You can connect with a USB adapter/dock if you can't connect it with SATA.

Honestly I wouldn't use that disk. Some recent barracuda drives have switched to SMR technology which isn't a good choice for RAID. Look for a 4 TB Seagate Ironwolf instead. ST4000VN008 is the currently shipping model for that.
