I would go by steps.

First of all, mark all drives, remove them from the server and test them individually.
After that, you need to identify which drives belongs to what and separate the 2 RAID0 individually.
After that, you have to rebuild the 2 RAID0 and compare them.

You have to know how to analyze the drives at low level and understand the data on them.
Based on that you can separate the 2 RAID0.

@kamou18

Also, rebuilding (or "remake" as you mentioned) the RAID is not a good idea as it means jeopardizing the data integrity.

You have to first identify what is wrong with each drive. You may have more than one drive failed.

This is a really difficult DIY - it seems - based on the questions you asked.
