Just ran a preclear and wondering what this means...

So just finished a preclear on my new 1.5TB WD EARS and afterward reported the following:

 

S.M.A.R.T. error count differences detected after pre-clear
note, some 'raw' values may change, but not be an indication of a problem

I've precleared a couple other disks and the above info didnt show up. So can someone explain what the above means?

 

Thanks!
