Playing around with disks is not a good idea. Trial and error (trying different combinations of disks) may further damage the RAID array. That's why it's better to try determine which drive is causing the issue.

He already has been playing around with the drives. Looking more closely at the log segment, there is more to this story that has been told. Drives in channels 3 & 4 completed resync within less than a minute of each other? Why/How? Drive was added to channel 2 less than an hour later. No resync is shown as starting. OS was updated a little more than an hour later, which included a reboot, well before the resync could have completed, even if it had started. And it was done with an already too full OS partition.
The OP was playing with fire and got burned. Had the original story been the whole story (Replace one drive and the other three went red), then trying to boot with the original three was a good plan. But with everything that was done, who knows?
