Update* So I was able to get the drives back online and back into group 0. Now my only issue is.. I have roughly 6TB's of data across the 4 3TB drives when creating a Raid 5 won't there be a space issue or will it still be ok?.

With RAID5, you get a bit less than # of drives -1 capacity (unline with RAID1, where you get exactly half). That's how your original config of 5*2.728tb=13.64 drives resulted in just under (5-1)*3.728=10.912tb of redundant capacity, or about 10.16tb actual capacity. With just 4 drives, if you got the array up, you still get full 10tb of space but no reduncancy. Any drive failure now and your data is gone. Get going with a backup before your luck runs completely dry.

Did the raid successfully come back online?
