Problem with two brand new WD30EZRX showing 85% health in Active Hard Disk Monitor

I bought two brand new western digital WD30EZRX 3 Tb Sata III hard drives. When I installed the new hard drives all was flawless. I selected .GPT format and instantly I was able to see and use 2.7 Tb per hard drive. However, when I checked the new hard drives with some programs Active Hard Disk Monitor showed 85% and 84% of health for the hard drives. What with that? I have others Caviar Black since two years and they show 100% of health, only one of 4 Caviar Blacks I discovered that shows 89% of health.

I dont have experience or knowledge about hard drives. Im learning to check and identify failures and starting to read S.M.A.R.T. I uploaded screenshots (you need to click the images to zoom them). Do you think that I need to apply RMA?

I must mention that Im using Sata II cables for both WD30EZRX (Sata III) because Sata III cables are not available in my country.

Thanks for the information.
