I just purchased the WD red 4TB drives, and then found this thread. I was terrified I had bought the wrong drives, and that these WD red's would not last very long. I had two Seagate Barracuda 3TB drives fail on me at 9, and 10 months respectively.
I looked at all the fixes presented so far, but wanted to give the drives a chance with no modifications. My drive has been in my Netgear NAS ultra 2 for 24 hours now with an LCC count of 0. I am getting this information from the smart button on the drive
