Unable to mount RAID10 array after reinstall

Support
1

I was able to install and operate Rockstor (unsure which version) on an old SD card in a Raspberry Pi 4 in an Argon 40 EON chassis, mount and configure my RAID10 array, and configure and access my media on a SAMBA share at will, all by following the documentation provided by and on the Rockstor website. As my level of confidence as it pertains to Linux is 0.3/10, I consider this a great feat.
I assume the old SDcard quit working, because I could no longer access 4 4TB drives of media in a RAID10 configuration, and I could not read the SDcard when moved to a USB slot on my Windows machine.

I bought a new card and installed Rockstor 5.0.15. It functions properly.

My trouble comes in trying to recover my media on the RAID array. I cannot currently mount/configure/read/access my RAID array no matter what step I follow in the online documentation. Web searches have yielded no solution.
Storage->Disks shows my SD Card and the four RAID drives.
All of these drives report as NOT SUPPORTED by S.M.A.R.T.
Two of the drives in the RAID array show as duplicates, I assume because they are mirrors of the two striped volumes.

I have reached the limits of my knowledge and ability. I am not convinced that I am not the root cause of my issue. I’d like to recover the data on the RAID drives, as opposed to reformatting them.

@IdiotEndUser welcome to the Rockstor community. I suspect that the argon chassis might create issues with the serial numbers (i.e. not unique, or changing) hence you’re seeing some duplication and error messages.

Would you be able to run at the command line, either through the WebUI or if you have a terminal connection (like PuTTy):

/usr/bin/lsblk -P -p -o NAME,MODEL,SERIAL,SIZE,TRAN,VENDOR,HCTL,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,UUID

that should show how/what the serial number looks like.
