Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. However in this case, the

a SATA that's integrated into the motherboard. Since two of 4 are
working, that would mean the controller is OK, right? I guess I could
swap SATA cables for a test.

Actually, typically one controller only runs two drives, IIRC. So you
could have one bad controller out of two. If swapping cables helps,
you may want to try getting a SATA card or something similar. (If
swapping cables means you can see the other two drives, a SATA card
should mean you'll get all your data back.)
Thanks for that. Tore into it today. The unseen drive is dead.
Doesn't even spin up and thus, the data and OS is gone.
But on the bright side, this is a perfect opportunity to install 9.0 RC3.
Thanks,
Drew
