ATA errors at 42, should I return hard drive?
Hello. 3 out of 4 of my hard drives have ATA errors at 46. I am wondering if I should return the hard drives or just watch with caution? What exactly is an ATA error and is it like reallocated...

What version of RAIDiator?
When did the ATA error count increase on the drives and by how much?
1. The hard drives in question are Western digital 2TB green drives. Model WD20EARS-00MVWB0
2. The Raidiator is 4.1.8. version.
3. The ATA Errors increased from 0 to 42 on one of my drives which I learned about in the Raidiator alert system with logs. The other 2 drives seem to show 42 to start out with so I assume they had 42 to begin with. So I have 3 out of 4 Drives with some type of ATA error.
I also pulled out every drive and tested them individually on my computer using a long drive test and they were all said to have passed.
