computers can really suck

So I'm all happy as I pop another TB HD into my computer and I look to see a drive I bought in December is SMART coding on me. What? yep, back up everything son and walk away quickly.

Great. I "might" be able to return the now dead drive BUT I am at a stand still because I am running out of space and all my bays are otherwise taken.

Trojan Man? Liquid Plumber? Mr. Clean?
