Shut down server. Removed old drive from slot 1, put new drive that was in slot 2 into slot 1.
Put another new drive in slot two, turned on server.
Waited some more, logged in, verified drive size, all looked good.
Tried plugging third drive in (hot), didn't work. Green LED didn't even come on.
Rebooted server, everything was fine. Rinse, repeat for fourth drive.
Created a RAID 5, didn't get any weird messages, but it took 5 days to resync.

Even if "some guys" start screaming again ..
Try any other drives than the WD drives and you will be lucky.
That what you depict - I had the same phenomenon.
Take e.g. inexpensive Hitachi 7K500 and it will work.
