I had a similar situation where a drive indicated imminent failure in my 12 disk array.
I replaced it with the one I had lying on the shelf for just such an occasion but after the rebuild I still had error messages.
(This is how my purchase of the DS1821+ was done sooner than expected.)
I was unable to resolve this and did not want to take more drastic action since some of the data was not backed up (due to storage limitation) to my 4-bay.
So I basically ordered a new NAS and copied over all the data to it.
Afterwards I did a factory reset on the 12-bay and afterwards it still works OK and is now the main backup NAS at home.
So perhaps someone that is more of a command line warrior can give you suggestions but if you have all your data backed up my recommendation would be just to do a factory reset and set up the NAS again with the new drive.
I will probably be less of a hassle.
