Parity data is stored on drive 2 & 4 for drive 1. It may be your drive 4 is failing also.

We had 1 user here awhile back that 2 drives failed with in 5 days of each other. He didn't have any spare drives around. Was waiting for one to come in then the other drive failed. When that happens your data is lost.

As far as taking a long time, that is normal. While most let it run over night.
