Drive 2 is reporting a temperature of 0 and no SMART data. That could indicate the drive is simply spun down, but I don't know why it would do that. So another possibility is the drive is bad. It is missing from your data array, as you stated.
Connecting the drive to a PC and testing it with SeaTools is your best next step. If it passes, then see if there is existing partitioning. If there is, try removing that and re-insert the drive (with power on).

Sandshark I finally inserted the drive to my PC, and examination by SeaTools gives, that HDD is defective!
I am pretty confused - this was brand new HDD, thiat situation happened for the first time to me and I am 50 y.o. and I am using PC's since 1990's! We are still learning and finally die stupid :smileyhappy: ...
I made a RMA request in Seagate and send them HDD for warranty exchange.
When I will receive a new HDD I will make procedure to hot insert them in RN104 working and I will report, if X-RAID rebuilding will take place.
Thank you Sandshark and StephenB for attention and for your priceless help!
Regards,
Tony.

Generally it's better to exchange new disks with the seller. When you do an RMA you get a recertified replacement, and that only has a 1 year warranty.

StephenB Today I've received an exchanged disk. Looks like brand new, I've checked warranty status for its S/N - is 3 years - exactly as this one I've bought.
Rebuilding process has started and I think, it will take more than whole day - I'll give feedback about results.
Regards,
Tony.
