Based on what you have posted (you didn't post anything regarding the other drives), I believe your volume is named FILES, not data. The arrays shown are FILES-0 and FILES-1, and I suspect the others make up what is still called FILES. Since there cannot be more than one array with the same name, that's how they would be broken up if the OS can't figure out how to assemble them as one.
You may be able to forcibly assemble the array from SSH, but let StephenB take a look at your logs to make sure you do it right. There could be some file corruption, however. If that won't work, then recovery software might, but it's not cheap; so give StephenB a shot first.

There is /FILES however this directory is empty.

If possible could I ask about this how to force assmble? for next attempt.

To give you instructions, StephenB will need to look at your logs. The specific instructions depend on the specifics of your volume (like getting the name right).

Nothing is empty, but the volume isn't properly mounted, so it appears so. Don't make the mistake of trying to do anything on your own except download the full log ZIP file. Doing the wrong thing most likely will make recovery impossible.

Thank you, I understood.

I am also seeing a couple of references to a /Second path in your logs. Did you set up another volume? (perhaps the sdg USB drive???)
