Just found out about this issue on my 3TB Reds....LCC count was > 427k in 6000 hours...ouch.
What's their manufacture date? Around December 2013?

Funny, i said many months before now exactly same that reds should be checked too, but no one believed that in this forum.
Hey folks, what about latest WD RED's, (MFG date now last summer) do they still ship them with this LCC issue?
Seems like the later version drives, mid-2014 or so, seem to be fine. I've personally checked July 2014 and they were set to 300s.Hey folks, what about latest WD RED's, (MFG date now last summer) do they still ship them with this LCC issue?
Hey everyone,
Sorry to dig up this slightly-dated post, but a friend of mine is building a FreeNAS with these 4TB RED drives. The good news is that there's no data on it yet, but I'd like to keep the warranty on the drives intact if possible. I read through the thread, and it sounds like the issue has been resolved in later revisions of these drives? The earliest manufacturing date of the drives she has is Oct 2014; the others are all 2015. Is it worth attempting to make the modifications on her drives, or did "slushy guy" find another job?
Thanks!
Joey
Yeah, they doubled it starting with the Gen. 2 Reds.The drives have been re-rated to 600,000 cycles I believe.
I have a number of 6TB WD reds in my box (sig) - is there an easy way to check this in my production freenas box?
