Trying everything I can think of hasn't worked.

I've backed up my critical files. I got another 705N to try to do a complete backup of all the 300GB that I have on this 705N. But the new unit was dead on arrival so I'll have to wait until the replacement gets here. Once I have everything on the new server I'll start trying a couple of ideas that I'm loathe to try without a complete backup. While losing the non-critical files wouldn't be the end of the world, I'd still like to make sure that doesn't happen.

Worst case is I'll need to wipe it and restart with a new batch of drives. Assuming this SMART warning crap doesn't follow along.
