If it's the drives that are failing, simply opening the enclosure and
cleaning will not help. Opening the drive itself can only be done in a
clean room otherwise the disk *will* be destroyed. There are companies
that do this, but it's not cheap and not worth it unless the data you're
attempting to recover is mission critical.
Try the drives on other people's machines if possible to try and
eliminate OS issues with your machines.
I note that the two drives are the same make/model: Were they purchased
at the same time? From the same batch? Maybe there was/is an issue
with that particular batch.
It's worth noting that, as good as your back up policy is, using drives
(or any other media come to that [CD, DVD, flash, etc]) from the same
manufacturer is, IMO, to be avoided because of the potential for failure
due to manufacturing defect. However slim those chances may be.....
