Two local data drives disappeared
Two local data drives disappeared. I have Win 10 OS on a SSD and two hdd's for data. In Disk management i get immediate Initialize Disk prompt for Disc 0, MBR(Mster Boot Record) or GPT (GUID partition Table).
Found a bunch of these in the event viewer.
Event ID: 153
The IO operation at logical block address 0x609d40 for Disk 0 (PDO name: \Device\0000008a) was retried.
I don't want to loose the data on the other drives. Any suggestions? Thank you in advanced.

Or boot from a Linux Live CD and see what it makes of them. For this purpose try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD
Also try GetDataBack https://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm Free to try. If it sees your data you pay for full functionality.

@John - My OS on SSD boots up without any issues, i just don't see two of my data drives. They both disappeared at the same time. When you say carrier you mean a station with esata to USB port?
@dbrunton - I am familiar with Ubuntu live CD, i will definitely try this next to recover the data. Issue i am facing is how did two hard drives just stopped working,

Yes and then you can see if another computer sees the data or whether you need to use recovery tools. dbrunton point to a good tool to try.

I tried USB 3 to eSata cable, the drive doesn't respond. Maybe it's due to USB port involvement, i am going to try and connect to a different controller. Any suggestions on how to recover the data myself without sending to data recovery centers?
The do it yourself methods were provided earlier here

@John - Thank you. Yours and Dbrunton suggestions for recovering data will work if the drive starts to spin, but if the drive doesn't come online LInux live CD or data recovery software will not work. I have used both options in the past, great methods. I also know there is a way to replace something physical on the HDD as long as it's the same version.
If you need the data then, you should get a data recovery quote

That's replacing the electronic board on the hard disk. In the old days this would work, nowadays with recent models it doesn't. One of the experts here, Dr Klahn, posted an explanation of why this is so.

Drives are completely integrated today and that is why I (and others) suggest a data recovery agency

Can you put the hard drives in a carrier and see them on another machine?
I would try this first
