Which firmware are you running?
Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.9
4.2.9 is very old firmware which is over 6 years old now.
Did you replace one disk at a time, wait for sync to complete before replacing the next disk?
I recall there being a software issue that could lead to disks 3 and 4 dropping out of the array on some very old firmware versions (I can't remember which ones). If you replaced one disk at a time and waited for the sync to complete it sounds like this may be what you have run into.
Do you have a backup?
