I have used those tests in the past but I'm a little worried that I
might make matters worse if I test the drives currently in the array
before having tried to recover whatever information I can.
Thanks,
Peter

On another note, I took the failed drive I replaced in my array
(/dev/sdh) and put it in another machine (win7) and run Western
Digital's diagnosis software and it says the drive is OK.
Another type of drive test you can do is with smartctl:
smartctl -t conveyance /dev/sdX
... typically takes a couple of minutes
smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdX # to monitor progress / completion
smartctl -t long /dev/sdX
... typically takes 6 hours on a 3TB drive
smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdX # to monitor progress / completion
Regards,
Brian.
