According to the mdadm -E data, you should only need to perform a forced assembly, like so: mdadm --stop /dev/md1 mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md1 /dev/sd[bcde]2 Your drives all have the same event counts, suggesting that they were all dieing within milliseconds of each other. One of them lived long enough to record the another's failure, but not to bump the event count. The dead machine almost certainly suffered a catastrophic hardware failure. Presuming the forced assembly works, you should plan on tossing these drives after you get your data... they have dangerously high relocation counts and cannot be trusted. (Fairly typical for consumer drives approaching 30k hours.)
