Unfortunately, you have learned that RAID isn't enough to keep your data safe.  Hopefully you can get it back, and then put a backup plan in place.

What kind of reset? A factory default (sometimes called factory reset) is destructive.

 

Can you connect the disks to a Windows PC (either with SATA or a USB adapter/dock)?  If so, try testing them with vendor tools - Seatools for Seagate, WD's Dashboard for WDC.  Run the long generic test on each (which will take a couple hours).
