Then just find the nearest trashcan and drop it in. It sounds like
you've done all you can.

I've had 5! Fujitsu SCSI drives go bad under warranty. Each replacement
died a couple of months after it was installed. I even added a dedicated fan
to the wide open drive space, but to no avail. The power voltages
were fine and the other drives (Quantum and a Seagate) lived until
retirement. Obviously I will never buy another Fujitsu (or Seagate but thats
another story) since they have a bad habit of dying young).
When you have a few dozen lab machines running 24/7 you quickly discover
that a manufactures MTBF numbers are so much fiction.
