I bought a WD Caviar Blue 500GB(WD5000AAKS) around 10 days back,

I downloaded HD Tune Pro and checked the Health, this is what it shows:-



Should I RMA the HDD? Is the error shown a serious issue?
And is this value OK?
 
To elaborate on HailStonE's post:

Low value of this attribute typically indicates that something is wrong with the connectors and/or cables. Disk-to-host transfers are protected by CRC error detection code when Ultra-DMA 66 or 100 is used. So if the data gets garbled between the disk and the host machine, the receiving controller senses this and the retransmission is initiated. Such a situation is called "UDMA CRC error". Once the problem is rectified (typically by replacing a cable), the attribute value returns to the normal levels pretty quick.
