The "X" means it is off line. That tells me that the drive might have failed. Run HDD Regenerator on the drive and see if it fixes the hard drive and reinstall it in the Snap1000. HDD Regenerator is the best for fixing drives. I haven't used Spinrite in years for a HD fix.
If you have a warranty on this drive then return it to the mfg if the HDD Regenerator doesn't work. It looks like you got a bad drive.
I've got a 250GB Snap1000 that had the fsck problem at one point, but mine cleared up after I did a SnapOS upgrade.
I also have another one with a 500GB in a Snap1000 and have had no problems with it. Both use non server raid drives with OEM power supplys. But to be safe it's better to get a server drive. But I know how price can affect buying.
If you are not concerned about the data and you cannot fix it with HDD Regenerator and I hope you backed up your data then slap it in to a windows box and see if it works with an installation. Paying a data recover lots of money for most ppl is out of the question.
The only file limitation that I'm aware of is the SnapOS of 1.2TB approx. then power supply problems can go a long with bigger drives.
Let me know how it goes, but I think you got a bad drive.

I can get to the web login. The drive is not visible in explorer any more, it has a big red "X". The web site on the drive is not accessible either.
Am I right to think that the drive has hit a brick wall as rpmurray suggests?
SpinRite doesnt do anything for me on these drives, I've tried it in the past. I'll give the fix fatal errors a try later and report back, but I'm not hopeful.
I have a smaller drive I can stick in there and format it if all else fails. Smaller, but it I could deal with it.
Thanks!
