Well in the midst of some office reorganization, I managed to knock my DS220+ off my 30" tall desk and onto a tile floor. I had it unplugged at the time fortunately. The case split along the joint, and the faceplate came off. The hard drives stayed in place. After some swear words, I discovered that it didn't look like anything had actually broken; the case just split where it was supposed to. The hard drive rack does appear to be a little out of shape as the drive latches wouldn't lock into the tray and they would slid out easily. Some carefully calibrated hand bending appears to have pulled the rack back into position and the trays now latch securely.
Put everything back together and it fired up like a champ. I've run the Smart test on the drives and they came back clean. I'm actually pretty impressed with the build quality, you wouldn't know I dropped it if I didn't tell you. There literally is not a scratch or chip on it. Is there any sort of hardware test I can run on the processor?
Anyways, that's how I spent my afternoon. Pics below are of initial damage and also the inside in case anyone wanted to see what it looks like without dropping their own.
