Unable to stop array (started getting hard drive errors)

One drive actively shows disabled, while three others are just no longer mounted. Not really sure what to do. I have a new SATA cable I can use to possibly see if that fixes the issue but I'm not really sure what to do now since the array won't stop and I don't want to do an unclean shutdown. All my dockers have stopped and the 4 drives are showing up in unassigned devices but aren't mounted. It's three 10TB drives and one 12TB drives. The HGST drives are relatively new. I hope its just a cable issue. What is my best plan of attack to not cause (more) data loss? I have one parity drive. These are my diagnostic logs. I have tried doing a reset of the sata cables on the drives after I was getting the errors to see if that would fix it. I have an LSI SAS 9210-i8 in IT mode and a Lenovo 16 Port SAS Expander (SAS2008) if that helps.

Unraid lost contact with multiple disks at the same time, suggesting a power/connection problem, you will need to reboot, by force if needed, that should get the disks back, and you can then check the damaged, possibly just one disabled disk.

Ended up rebooting prior to your reply. Replaced a cable I had, not sure if that was the issue. When it started back up, all drives were back up except for one that stated the file system on the one drive was incorrect. I only have one parity drive. I did an xfs repair on the drive but I will eventually be swapping that drive out just on the slim chance it was the drive. A lot of my drives are old so I need to start upgrading anyways. The one drive I did an xfs repair on, its doing a data rebuild. Not sure if that was the right move but so far everything *seems* fine. Oh to note, the one that returned with an xfs issue wasn't the one disabled drive which is odd. But I digress. I think my issue is mostly resolved. Thanks again JorgeB
