You should never buy drives from the same batch for a raid. :/

You still have the original files tho right?

Its not a backup if that's the only file, it's a file server.

If there's something you really want to restore, you probably still can.

@electrineer No, I fortunately did a backup this morning from my servers, so everything is safe

Seems like hardware/backplane fault. All drives dying at same time that too mechanically

Maybe the controller is crapping out? Hardware raid? With battery? Also check memory, sometimes it's a bad dimm :/
