I won't scold you for using RAID5 instead of RAID6 with this number of
if drives and especially the size of the drives.

Could you please post the output of smartctl -a for each device? (from
smartmontools)

That way we can verify which HDDs are broken, before proceeding.

Hello Mathias,

RAID6 would have been the safer option clearly, but we needed the
extra-space and only had this number of drives available.

Here the requested output:

Hm are these behind some controller of sorts? What about smartctl -x ?

We use an Adaptec 71605 controller. smartctl -x does not provide any more
useful information, I suppose. I only post the output of one drive as an
example this time. They all give a similar result.

smartctl -x /dev/sdc

What about the state of the software RAID5? It would be great if I
could bring it back to a state where the filesystem on it is fully
working again without having to copy the 20 TB of data to it again
(copying this amount of data takes some time :( ).
