Trying to reuse 5@2tb 2.5 ssd after removed from raid5 set

Hi all...

I had a 5@2tb ssd disk raid-5 set in a small usb enclosure that was working fine until my cat knocked it on the floor trying to get into my work zoom call. 

The enclosure when powered back up showed the disks all failed. It's a fairly light light enclose so I figured it (vs the 5 drives failing at the same time) failed.  Could all 5 drives fail at the same time? What are the odds?

I took the drives out (marking their order) and tried a few space ssd and the enclosure worked fine  

So now my question. I DONT need the data (backed up to another nas) but I'd really like to reuse the 5-2tb drives individually.

I've used another usb ssd external device on several PCs and tried :

Disk management - 3 out 5 appeared to initialize and format fine but... does register now.

Trying to re-initialize I get a Device Not Ready.

Using DISKPART list disk shows it online but 0 capacity 0 free.  They say online but nut appear offline in disk manager

I can select it, clean it, take it offline and online BUT that's about it. 

I'm just not that hw savvy (obviously lol) and need help.
