WD Red drives park their heads like WD Green drives?

I know it may be just a nonsense to justify why they're denying support, but I am told by support that 4TB RED are seen causing trouble on some units. I am also told they are being tested on OS6 machines now, and that for the time being there are no plans to test them on OS4 in the future.
I have those drives, and experienced ONE kernel crash on my unit. It may be relevant, it may be not, I just thought I should add it to the conversation.
