don't cry when the controller fails or one/both arrays fail to rebuild. Real world answer is A.

The most efficient step would be to replace both failed drives at the same time. This will allow for the quickest recovery time since both drives have failed and need to be replaced to restore data redundancy. Replacing one drive at a time, waiting for a rebuild, and then replacing the next drive will increase the risk of data loss if another drive fails during the rebuild process. Shutting down the server to replace the drives will result in extended downtime. Replacing all the drives in both degraded arrays is not necessary, as only the two failed drives need to be replaced.
