Assuming these are hot swap drives, have you removed and reseated 1 of the failed drives to see if it is recognised?

Have a RAID5 consisting of 3 drives. Two of them were put into non operational state by Adaptec AAR-2610SA Controller at almost the same moment. Controller didn't even take hot spare drive into a rebuild process as it immediately found the array to be failed. Now array status is &quot;failed&quot;. I have checked the drives aside a server. They are in a perfect working condition state.<br />
Is there a way to put the array back into an operational &quot;optimal&quot; state without loosing data that are on the drives.<br />

RAID5 - Failed RAID status - discarded by Controller yet fully functional HDDs

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
