Can you connect them to a different machine? Not in one go but disk by disk. Can you run the original machine just with one disk using UFS? As and example: I have here one disk from a broken machine which gives problems in my new machine. I do not think that the disk also got broken the moment the other machine died. So, I will keep the disk until I can use it in a different environment. With other words: strange things happen ones in a while.
