What does the actual SMART data look like on these disks vs. just reading the pass/fail from WD's tools?
Green vs Red redux.

Just checked, the Synology seems to show everything to be clean. Reallocated sectors is a 0.
I'm now thinking the Asustor was misreporting. Damn.

Confirmed. Asustor has an issue with the Reds. Ran the Reds in a Synology for a while, and then in my Sever 2012R2 box running StableBit Scanner. I left Scanner to check the drives almost constantly, and it found nothing. Stuck the Reds back in the Asustor and within an hour it was reporting bad sectors again. 
Asustor needs to address their SMART reporting - it's wrong, plain and simple. I've confirmed it's misreporting the WD50EFRX and it's also misreporting Seagate ST4000DM000 drives as faulty when they aren't.

Asustor is a spin-off company started by some ex-Asus employees, similar to AsRock. Just as QNAP was started by some ex-Synology people.
I'm impressed that they can get away with having asus in their name without approval. Maybe its an advantage of being in Taiwan.
