1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes (terabyte = 1000^4)
:
1TiB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (tebibyte = 1024^4) 1TB/1TiB = 0.9095 tebibytes per terabyte 14TB * 0.9095 = 12.73 TiB |

Windows, however, sticks to the 1024 rule, which means it sees a 250GB hard drive as 232GB, and a 1TB drive as 931GB.This explains why hard drives appear to have a lower capacity than advertised.A 1TB hard drive has the capacity to store 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Divide this by 1024 and you get 976,562,500KB. Divide by 1024 again and you get 953,674.3MB. Finally, divide by 1024 to get gigabytes and you end up with 931.32GB and so similar way you can calculate the process of 1 MB and 1024kb.

You can also use CrystalDiskInfo to confirm the disk model and capacity.

It is normal. Mine jumped to 54C while running the DLGDIAG extended test.
These really need a fan blowing on them. The hot air gets trapped in the case. No need for powerful, just something to move the air. I have used an old small scavenged Southbridge fan. Have also used a spare 30mm RPi fan. Noisy.
Have also used a 30mm 12V fan running on 5V. I screwed the fan to the top of the case, blowing up, and ran the wires inside and soldered them to a 5V pad on the circuit board. Problem solved!
It just needs to turn and move some air.

I have 1 drive currently scanning with the same tool.
I had 1 drive that failed the LifeGuard extended test around the 20 hr time period. The test halted.
None of these drives have made any worrisome noise. No knocking/thumping or clicking.
All of the drives are still in their cases. I have not removed them.

Under load, mine is at 34C right now LOL.
Noctua 3000rpm exhaust on my server's HDD side, 2500rpm Noctua intakes. I keep it in my basement so noise is irrelvant.

So the drive with the issue ran something like 20 hrs with the extended test. The other drives have run the full extended test and passed.
16 hours with 83 hours remaining does not sound like it's a good drive. Mine all showed reasonable estimated times left. You need to get them to send you a replacement (bestbuy)
There are two threads on SD about these WD 14TB drives read them both. Many people recommend many different hard drive tools but to be honest If the WD's own tool says something is wrong with the drive then return it. They can't dispute their own software.
It's unfortunate how much time it takes to test and setup massive drives like these. But better to find out now.
EDIT: Got the same too many bad sectors message after a couple hours so first test wasn't a fluke. I'll be returning the drive, hopefully they can exchange in store.
