Now when I view these drives they appear empty without any partitions or

View how?
Attempting to read the raw contents of the drives, e.g., with pv, leads to

If you just get read errors from the drives, they (controller+drive) might
need power cycle to start working again. I have seen these kinds of
problems occur because of transient issues involving cables or one drive
misbehaving and taking both drives on the same controller "channel" with
it, etc.
