Right but 2 of those 7 you're saying gave you no warning they were about to die, which means you have 5 of 7 which could easily do the same thing any moment now. For having such cheap drives you'd think you could have at least one on standby, hotspare or not. You realize that WDC is within their right, if they knew you were using raid6 with these drives, refusing the RMA? These are not raid5/6 drives. They're not 24x7 use drives.
