The SATA standard does support hot-plugging but it's optional if the
hardware (controllers and the drives) support it or not.

I was under the impression that SATA was not that sensible to hot
unplugging, in fact I thought that SATA supports hot pluging, so by
yanking the wires out it should not have damaged the disks or the
controller IMO. But you might be correct because I use only cheap HW

Not likely but in your situation it might damage the controller, in 
which nothing you do to the drives will help. In the worst case, the 
controller then might in turn damage the drives.

There is smartctl in port smartmontools,
and badsect provided by the system.
