Has anyone seen this happening to their 3+ year old WD NAS drives? https://youtu.be/cLGi8sPLkLY

Just saw this report that WD has decided to start marking the drives as having a problem if you have enabled the WD analytics, after they have been on for 3 years of use.

It doesn't mean they stop working but may make it hard to know if your drive really has a problem if I'm understanding the video correctly?

Good luck lol

Some advice for people, don't upgrade your drives unless you're going to run out of space soon (next 6-12 months). They'll always get cheaper over time, it makes no sense to pay more for higher storage now if you're not actually going to use it soon. It's not like upgrading RAM / CPU where you can gain immediate benefits. I bought 4 4TB WD red drives around 4 yrs ago and up till now I've used only 21% of the storage. Every year I see these deals and convince myself I should upgrade, and then I check how much storage I've actually used and realize there's no point upgrading.

Great price on 2x Red Pro drives. Too bad you can't stack cart codes with deals anymore.
