WD HDD PCB Oxidization / corrosion / discolorations you name it

Today i removed one of my WD6400AAKS-00A7B2

smart report it has been run for about 12000 hours

I noticed some “black thing” grow on the pcb’s copper. (Picture attached, let me know if anyone can’t see it)

and for my WD1001FALS which are new, i have not yet shut down the computer for maintenance yet. I hope it is not much worst then my WD6400AAKS-00A7B2 since it is just less then 2 months old.
