One simple question, though: if you have 2 similar HDDs and one

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.
