There's one other thing that bothers me, just recently one of the drives has reported minor errors but is still working, I dud some reading and it says not to change a drive that hasn't failed on a raid 5 setup because it may not rebuild because the disk was still in use, is that true?

If the drives are of the same age/make/model and one of them is beginning to show signs of failing, if it were me, I'd consider replacing all 4 and switching to RAID10. You'll need 4 x 4TB in RAID 10 to get 8TB of storage.
