I did submit a request and am waiting for a response. I was going to give them until Monday and then call them up and talk to someone on the phone.

Hello LeeLogan,
You may try to setup the replacement chassis using a spare drive after successfully doing so you may migrate the drives 1 for 1 and check if it will address the concern. If both NAS old and replacement chassis is detecting the drives as dirty drives, then there is a possibility that the problem might be on hard drives. Upon contacting support you might be ask to avail support contract and worst case scenario it may fail to data recovery.
