Generally speaking, when the number of hard drives is small, there is almost no difference between TRAID and regular RAID. The blockage...

Unfortunately I may have spoken too soon... after 16 hours, its offline again.

I brought it back online as described above, then tried a copy operation, copying files to it. An hour into the copy... yep, offline again.
