I have a WD RE4-GP which dropped an Adaptec 51645 RAID controller. I ran a smartctl short test on the drive and it failed with a read error.
What does smart say about reallocated sectors, pending sector count, drive temperature, etc?
WD will send you a new one if it's an enterprise drive. No questions asked. I've done this many a time.
Also, watch it for a few days, then every week. If it doesn't change, I wouldn't worry; if it does, have it replaced.
