WD20EARS just added on the official HCL - mistake and issues

My NV+ setup:
Device Description
Disk 1 WDC WD20EARS-00S8B1 1862 GB , 38 C / 100 F , Write-cache ON OK
Disk 2 WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 1862 GB , 38 C / 100 F , Write-cache ON OK
Disk 3 WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 1862 GB , 36 C / 96 F , Write-cache ON OK
Disk 4 WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 1862 GB , 32 C / 89 F , Write-cache ON OK
I used the wdidle3 on each for LCC. Been running for 5 months with no issues. I purchased a backup replacement drive from newegg and see the model they're shipping now is 22MVWB0 - well it's my backup. If anyone has any experience or issues with this model, I'd be happy to hear about it.
