Got a reply back from WD asking me to return the drive, I wiped the drive
and tested the drive to see if it will throw up errors.
Again, both the WD tool and the Debian disk utility do not report any bad
sectors.
Can anyone explain what's going on?

cfdisk, it seems updated.
Yudi is not using GPT.
cfdisk and fdisk are both part of (upstream) util-linux-ng[*1], so both
handle large sectors

NOTE: neither fdisk or parted is the cause of your original problem...
This is what I thought. I suspect it's got something to do with the

I used fdisk to partition the disk before installing the OS.

I used fdisk to partition the disk before installing the OS. Just to make
