Hello StephenB
I got a new disk, connected to 3.5 Disk reader and was able to read it on the laptop. The storage is 2.75. I have replaced the disk in slot 4 but still could not rebuilt.
Disk 1 still appears missing.
Attached are the screenshots and logs.
How do i go about to for this disk 4 to be active

You can't restore the volume (or sync disk 4) without disk 1. Your RAID redundancy only handles one failure, not two. I suggest you try testing disk 1 in a PC next.
Did the original disk 4 completely fail? If not, do you still have it (intact)?

I have tried to read the two degraded disk 1 and disk 4 and they are only showing 3.86GB.

A moderator need to release your screen shots. I believe StephenB has privileges to see them, but the rest of us do not. If you add a description, those who can't see the graphics may be able to help before the graphics are released. As it stands, I have no idea how you even tried to test the drives, so I'm guessing that you expected to be able to read data from them. But when you test the drives in a PC, you will not be able to read their contents. You can only verify the drive's functionality.
You absolutely need one more drive to be able to recover anything. Hopefully, either drive 1 or the old drive 4 are functional enough to clone and use.
