A unit shows up as unusable, because of missing drives:
Unusable Arrays:
3 drive 64K RAID 5 558.77 GB (Unit 1)
SATA - Maxtor 6B300S0 279.86 GB (Port 6)
The unit has some but not all of its members available. The
unit will be unusable. If this unit is your boot device, your
system will not boot. You must either return the missing
disks to complete the unit, or release the member disks by
deleting the incomplete unit(s) listed in the display.
Remember that deleting a RAID unit overwrites any existing
data on the member drives.
CAUTION:
Do not delete the inoperable unit and recreate it, as this will
overwrite the data and make data recovery very difficult.
