Quick info: Dell R410 with 2x500GB drives in RAID1 on H700 Adapter
Recently one of drives in RAID1 array on server failed, lets call it Drive 0. RAID controller marked it as fault and put it offline. I replaced faulty disk with new one (same series and manufacturer, just bigger) and configured new disk as hot spare.
Rebuild from Drive1 started immediately and after 1.5 hour I got message that Drive 1 failed. Server was unresponsive (kernel panic) and required reboot. Given that half hour before this error rebuild was at about 40%, I estimated that new drive is not in sync yet and tried to reboot just with Drive 1.
RAID controller complained a bit about missing RAID arrays, but it found foreign RAID array on Drive 1 and I imported it. Server booted and it runs (from degraded RAID).
Here is SMART data for disks.

In extended error logs from SMART I found:
Drive 0 has only one error
Error 1 [0] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 10282 hours (428 days + 10 hours)
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
After command completion occurred, registers were:

But Drive 1 has 883 errors. I see only few last ones and all errors I can see look like this:
Error 883 [18] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 10454 hours (435 days + 14 hours)

Given those errors, is there any way I can rebuild RAID back, or should I make backup, shutdown server, replace disks with new ones and restore it? What about if I dd faulty disk to new one from linux running on USB/CD?
Also, if anyone have more experiences, what could be causes for those errors? Crappy controller or disks? Disks are about 1 year old, but it is pretty unbelievable to me that both would die within so short timespan.
