If the drives are 10 years old I wouldn't waste time trying to use them.
Your
priority should be to get the data onto newer media.
The drives are newer. The original drives were Seagates, and both
failed (at different times so the RAID saved me). I replaced them with
WDs, one Black and one Blue, which have so far worked well. Now the
Black is showing some errors, not a large number but enough to make me
cautious.
