Well, everything points to hardware failure... but... 2 discs at once????
Depends on a lot of factors, you can have two discs fail simultaneously if your server suffered a strong enough power surge (a UPS doesn't always protect you, especially if it's a line-interactive).
If it is a Maxtor disc, the firmware might have gotten damaged (their firmware isn't particularly stable and/or robust, in my experience).
Controller/motherboard might have gotten damaged too - this seems to happen more often with power irregularities.
Test the discs in another box, you'll be able to see if the problem is with the discs or not.

Just a P.S. Maxtor disks have been dying faster and faster here - I've gone thru a few dozen warranty replacements in the last 2 years. I don't use them anymore. If you've got Maxtors, I'd say it was quite possible for 2 of them to go at the same time. Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.
