I appreciate the help. I just tested all drives and they do spin up when powered in another system (just powered) 99% sure I'll just buy another enclosure and get it all back up and running quickly. Again, thank you for setting me at ease with this. My heart initially sank when I saw it offline.

That's actually great news. I had a 4x3TB configurations which gave me 8 total in RAID5. Luckily, I had just a very simple share structure, so rebuilding that is no concern. Is there much difference between the 540 and 542? Edit: Any gotchas or things I should be aware of or definitely not do? I've had drives fail…
