If the first resync fails you'll likely need to do a factory reset.

    it came back up as a spare, so I replaced the drive and factory reset it. Didn't lose any data (that I know of) so I'm pretty happy overall.

    Curious as to how much longer this thing is gonna last though, hardware wise. The Ultra 4 I have, I can't even remember when I bought it. Curious if anyone knows how long they typically last for.
