Since I already have 1 drive failed, if the adapter detects another 
drive failed, it will kill the array and I'll be hosed.

When I replaced drive 4 initially, I had the SCSI ID set wrong. The 
adapter failed drive 1 as well, and marked the array as dead. No amount 
of wishful thinking would get the adapter to mark drive 1 unfailed after 
that. It took a very expensive after hours support call to Adaptec 
support to get the array back.
