And there you have the mentioned error. I would just return-back the unit. It is clearly new (less than 400 hours of use!) and should not throw any error nor message about its SMART health. This does not have to mean a bad drive per se, of course, but better safe than sorry. If a new unit still fails, I would recheck the cable and/or disk connectors.
