This is my biggest drive with most of the content on it. How do I safely get it to identify as SDA again?

Reboot.

 

Device disconnected, one of the reasons we don't recommend USB devices in the array/pools.

That plus an xfs_repair did the trick! Thank you very much. I'll be using an internal drive once I have more to back this one up (requiring me to be less poor)
