New HDD Smart errors

[Kodiak]

Just taken delivery of a brand new WD Red 3TB since my old 1.5tb drive started to show some errors in copying (Disk IO error in windows).
As Im copying data from one to the other, Ive noticed that in my SMART monitor that the "Current Pending Sector Count" is at 3 already. Is this drive damaged already, and requires RMA'ing?

I'll try running the lifeguard diag on it tonight.
Most likely have to RMA this drive, good thing is the company I bought it from is good with their RMAs.

Right, the WD diag is comming up with "Status code = 7 (Failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint = 97 (Unknown Test)". Thats on the quick SMART test. I havent bothered running the full test.

And HD Sentinel is pretty much saying the same on a quick test.

RMA time i think
