I have a single disk USB enclosure that works very well with Unassigned Devices. If you already have a way to connect those with USB that would be worth trying. Ah - OK, I'll see what I can do an an additional option to attach via USB. I don't currently have any hardware to plugin in a drive via USB. if I do get them to mount, what would be my steps after?

OK so it would prevent me from having to re-download files by taking them off the mounted disks and putting onto the array. got it!
March 31, 20251 yr Author Disk1 finished rebuilding and is operational again. For Disk2, I was going to reformat it next - I believe you said it wouldn't be able to be rebuilt after that right? so, it will start fresh and I can pull data off my original disk2 once I find a method to mount it (or simply re-download the data I'm missing) tower-diagnostics-20250331-0939.zip

It writes an empty filesystem to the disk. This is basically the definition of "format" for all OS. Unraid handles all write operations in the array by also updating parity so parity remains in sync. So after format, parity agrees the disk has been formatted. Thus, rebuild could only result in a formatted disk.
March 31, 20251 yr Author Solution Problem: Disk1 - Error with red X Disk2 - Unmountable/bad filesystem Solution: Disk1 - Repair filesystem and rebuild Disk2 - Reformat as repair to filesystem failed.
