Likely the controller they're on or less likey the drives themselves got fried.

Try with just one of them on the same ribbon cable as the hard drive.

Wont do any harm to keep using it while it keeps working.

It may not work for too much longer tho, not all of the damage caused
by a severe over voltage shows up immediately, it may die a little later.
