Yea, I figured that out -- just couldn't find a decent detailed reference with what "SCT status supported" means versus the more fully featured.

And this drive (sort of  - but not this sub model -- and that's the replacement that Seagate recommended.) is not going to stay in the array.

I'm going to get some more WD red's (or decent NAS friendly mechs) and pull this puppy out of the stack and use it elsewhere.

Thanks for the confirmations!
