I have HP Proliant DL360p gen8. 4 disk on RAID 5, 3 of them have amber light on them. I did chkdsk on my virtual machines none reported any error. Am i able to fix it without buying and replacing disks? If no then do i need to replace all 3 disks?

Following this hpe article

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00104843en_us&docLocale=en_US

they say you need backup all the data, destroy and recreate all the array, make drive erase for the whole array and if all is okay then restore back the data from backup.

kind of dumb instruction but we have what we have

also another article here

https://techlibrary.hpe.com/docs/iss/shared/gen9/error/Advanced/Content/242703.htm

says that error 1716 means that

A media error is detected on a drive and cannot be corrected because of degraded fault tolerance or a media error at the same location on another drive in the same array. An unrecoverable read error is returned to the operating system when this block address is read.
