I'd say not yet. Pending sectors in the single digits, IMO, don't call for immediate replacement of the drive.Should I purchase a 2nd drive to replace drive 4?
Yes. Set up scheduled tests, so you know they're happening regularly, and kick off a long test for each drive.Should I now run SMART tests on all drives? Short or long?
On the drive temps, you could consider more fans, better fans, running your current fans faster, and/or placing them differently. Basements are generally good (as they tend to be cool), but not if they don't have, and can't get, Ethernet connections.
