Correct - I have yet to complete the boot sequence successfully wherein I can access my data.
RAIDar was the only place I could see the stats, and I actually saw 2 different sets of info during the same boot sequence. Initially, errors were reported on disks 1, 2, and 3 at 1000+, 300+, and 51, respectively (no, I never got any smart error notifications via email - but I don't regularly log in to the admin control panel either.) After a refresh, RAIDar then reported the disk errors for 1, 2, and 3 as none, 450, and 1, respectively. At no point were errors reported on disk 4.
Should I try cloning disk 1 to the replacement disk, or will the unit sync the new drive at/after boot?
