[SOLVED]
Just wanted to update this thread in case anyone ever finds it having the same issue. I mentioned in the comments that a program called MiniTool Partition Wizard was able to scan the unallocated drive and view the files, but it wouldn't let me recover them without paying for the pro version of the program. Turns out they didn't always charge for the recovery feature. I uninstalled and installed an older version of that software (v9.1 to be exact) that had that feature for free, and I was able to recover all of my data.

I just updated windows the other night and woke up and and booted on the computer to see both my HDDs were not showing in file explorer and show as unallocated in disk managament. I don't want to format the drives as I have data on them. How can I recover this data and get the drives back to normal again?
