It probably is... since when I remove my new 4TB USB disk from the
front, I am at least able to mount my two 2x2TB in degraded mode and see
my data!

So I am not quite sure what to do now. 
I don't trust USB hubs. 

On a different NUC I've noticed I can't charge my iPhone anymore!
https://mail-archive.com/linux-usb@vger.kernel.org/msg95231.html So...
is there any end in sight for the "USB power" problem? Does USB-C /
Thunderbolt address this issue? :(

Try return my new 4TB to Amazon and find an externally powered one

Wonder how would you do that, in order to have a working snapshot that I
can put in cold storage?

Nonetheless I hope the btrfs developers can make it possible to remove a
RAID1 drive, to put in cold storage use case, without any pfaffing.

I ran that debug info: https://s.natalian.org/2017-10-13/btrfs-reply.txt
To summarise:
* sdb - new 4TB disk that makes my raid1 unmountable atm when connected
* sd{c,d} - old 2tb

Here's the accompanying dmesg.txt
https://s.natalian.org/2017-10-13/dmesg.txt sorry, it might be difficult
to follow since I was moving the 4TB between the front ports and such.

Kind regards,
