You could “pull” one drive at a time and boot from LiveUSB to isolate each drive.
What is “pulling” and “isolating” a drive?
I’m not entirely sure, but a LiveUSB is a USB boot disk that allows me to try out an operating system without installing it, right? Except why would I do that if the OS is already installed?
To “pull” a drive is to remove it from the system, unplug it. In this case temporarily. It is a troubleshooting technique. It “isolates” the other drive since one of the two drives is not active. All software manipulations (troubleshooting activities using utility software such as gparted, the file manager, etc.) while in this condition will only be acting on the one drive.
Yes, part of what a LiveUSB is capable of is to “try” the operating system before installation. But in the case of antiX the LiveUSB is a fully functioning operating system all on it’s own and it is again “isolated” from the main system already installed on your hard drive. You can use all the same software and utilities on your hardware without having to “mount” the hard drive unless you want to. This allow you to troubleshoot the hardware without having the installed-to-hard-drive operating system active and in control.
