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. Hans
