insane high Local Cycle Count after expansion
i have an RNDU6000. Recently i added a 6th disk to it. Western Digitaal 3TB Red. An offline expansion was need and successful in the end. I bought the 3TB brand new and only runs now for 2 months or ...
Load cycle count problem is a known issue with newer Red drives.
There is a tool provided recently by WD to adjust the drive to reduce or eliminate the problem, there is a a link in this thread:

If you search the forums for "load cycle count" you will find a lot of information about the problem.
Personally I think the newer WD red drives are not suitable for Readynas users. The older red drives seem to have been set up more appropriately at the factory and many users are happy with them.
Seagate do a NAS drive that does not require user modification to make it work normally.
Wd deny that there is a problem with LCC causing damage.
I returned my 4 tb red drives to wd for a refund and bought seagate NAS drives.
