See the following thread:

A WD user asks WD Tech Support for the meaning of the Raw Read Error Rate SMART attribute. The support person is unable to answer the question, so it is escalated to Engineering. Engineering are unable to find an appropriate WD technical document, so they plagiarise one that they find on the Internet. It turns out that the plagiarised document is one of mine. Worse still, my article was written about Seagate’s unique SMART attributes and does not apply to WD’s drives.
