Seagate Error codes
Two of my drives in my 104 are having problems. One that died I checked with SeaTools, and it failed to run the tests and cameback with an error code E161CB4A. Anyone know what this means? A search...

Playing videos with failing drives is like watching youtube with slow internet connection. Just follow the steps on how to replace a faulty drive on your NAS, no one wants you to lose your data.
If I see your setup correctly, you now have 3 drives working... the 3rd one working but with reallocated sector counts. It will be safe to hotplug the new 4th drive and let it sync. Once sync process is done, remove the 3rd drive and hotplug the new 3rd drive. Wait for 3rd drive to sync and you will all be good. Do not turn off your unit or reboot it unless all drives are properly synced.
Goodluck with the RMA.
