Probably simpler to get files from backup and then see what else you can make sense of in lost+found.

Considering the backup, I would say that I managed to recover 85% of my data. (Lost Found + Backup). Pretty good, I didn't lose anything important. I can recover the lost data with a little patience.

 

Disk1 is being emulated, should I add the new hard drive to the array now? Is it necessary to pre-clear the new drive?

Not ADD, REPLACE.

 

Preclear if you want to test the new disk. A clear disk is only required for ADD, not for REPLACE. Rebuild will be a test of sorts anyway.

 

Since the new disk is already installed, all you need is...

 

Stop array, assign new disk as disk1, start array to begin rebuild.
