I think it would more accurately be something like:
> Write to disk 4 - stripe to disk 1, 2 or 3 depending on which
one held the parity for that block...
...and:
Write to disk 4 - stripe to disk 2 or 3 depending as above...
As you can see disk 2 and 3 get heavily hit while 1 and 4 may not.
OTOH, there will never be 'normal' reads/writes to the blocks with
parity stripes on 2 and 3 during 'normal' data access. I.e., disks 2
and 3 will have less access that isn't involved in RAID striping.
I suspect that your best course will be to wait until you have both
some statistics and some spare system time.
