One simple question, though: if you have 2 similar HDDs and one
of them starts to fail, how do you know which one it is?

I assume you mean which physical disk is which?

There are useful tools hdparm, smartctl, blkid, lsblk and probably
others too.

   # hdparm -I /dev/sda
   ...
         Model Number:       ST340014A
         Serial Number:      5JXC6GK4

Thanks, Bob. Still have to extract and disassemble the HDD caddy
to check serial numbers, but knowing which drive to look for
should seriously reduce downtimes.
