And your other drives that had the SMART data cleared now show they've been in use for a year, one year after you installed them?

Same here, but I wasn't crazy about having an extra foot of cable bundled up. Ended up doing as in the attached picture and covering 3 pins with kapton tape. You only need to cover the longer 3.3v "power down" pin, but the other two 3.3v pins are not used by modern hard drives and are perfectly fine to cover as well.
Also just wanted to add another data point, full disk scans and S.M.A.R.T. data all checked out fine on the three I ordered and the drives aren't noticeably louder than normal drives. I was expecting such a racket from the other comments that I thought they weren't working during the test scans, but they're just not all that loud.
