Hi, I have a RAID 1 setup of two 4TB WD Red drives (WD40EFRX). Motherboard is an ASUS X79-DELUXE.
I've been using it since 2014 for storing my finished projects and some other related materials.
Suddenly yesterday, both drives were visible in Explorer.
And the content of the drives differed. Here is an image:

It seemed that just a folder was missing. So the above property windows are there to see if there are actually difference on individual file level. Well, oviously yes.
In BIOS,my two 4TB disks are setup in RAID 1 as far as I can tell. Sata mode is not set to RAID (set to AHCI) but not all my disks are in RAID. I haven't made any changes to the computer at all since I was messing with WOL in 2018 or so. It just happened suddenly.
Here is a pic from the UEFI menu:

I checked the disks with chkdisk too, but no ovious problems.
To be honest, I'm not really sure exactly what my question is, but something like "can I fix it easilly without backing up and reconfiguring the drives?" or even "think a drive could be bad? should I buy new ones?".
What I'm a bit worried about is files not syncing between drives and not being backed up.
Greatful for any help and sorry if there is information missing here.
