I have just received four new WD 8Tb Reds from Scan.co.uk in the UK and run the Quick SMART Test on them while they are unassigned devices. This is their first power up since they were all removed from sealed packaging. While three are totally perfect with zero hours and only one spin up, the fourth drive has an extremely high Spin Retry Count as shown in the SMART report below.

 

Is it even worth me preclearing this drive? Since it is brand new, should I return it immediately or is it possible that the SMART report itself is in error rather than the drive?

EDIT : The issue is solved. Powering down the array and bringing it up again has cleared and correctly displayed the SMART report, both on-screen and in the text file. See the second SMART report for the same drive a few minutes later...

 

Is this an unRAID GUI defect I need to report or is something else at play here?

New info

The same drive failed the preclear in only 15 minutes and gave a yellow SMART warning on the Dashboard. It is going back.

I just got a brand new wd red 8tb went to preclear it and got a ton of Current_Pending_Sector errors (over 7000). Tried to run a smart test but both the short and long failed.
