You can't mix boards. They must be the same make and model. Perhaps you can buy just the board? Or a used working one?
I've used both SG and WD and have had far more failures with WD. I guess it depends on the models and how they are used? I currently have nearly all SG drives in the "big machine" the server. 12 drives in total with no failures over the last 10 years.

I always knew that, if Seagate somehow stays in business, then they must have some customers somewhere. You must be the one.
Here it was 50:50 failure on the Seagate disks - some older disks/models failed after 5-6y some kept running for 10+ andwere decommissioned. I did some research may be 7y ago and started buying 2TB WD RED for NAS - was recommended for RAID. They seem to be good.
I think Kate means to move the magnetic disks from the failed driver to the one that you know is working. Clearly you can not use different make/model. But it is risky task.
Did you try badblocks? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Badblocks
