Thanks.  I'll keep that in mind.  However in this case, the controller is
a SATA that's integrated into the motherboard.  Since two of 4 are
working, that would mean the controller is OK, right?  I guess I could
swap SATA cables for a test.

--As for the rest, it is mine.

Actually, typically one controller only runs two drives, IIRC. So you could have one bad controller out of two. If swapping cables helps, you may want to try getting a SATA card or something similar. (If swapping cables means you can see the other two drives, a SATA card should mean you'll get all your data back.)
