do you know if those are on the main segment or the mirror segment? 
If they fail the mirror segment should take over allowing you to 
replace the drives without downtime.  It may be necessary to manually 
switch over.  I'm not sure how to do that as my only experience with 
raid is in PC hardware systems.
