Hello
I notice my Write Error Rate for 4T WD increased from 1 to 3 in the last 2 weeks. My question is: Was those data corrupted during errors while the head was writing data?
Thank you in advance

No, I can confirm that the data is not corrupted.
Alone this number (and its current value) does not cause troubles, this is why the health is still 100% now.
If you are not sure, you may any time use the Disk menu -> Short self test, Extended self test, Surface test -> Read test
(or if you have the opportunity, after backup even the write tests) to verify the situation: to confirm if the disk drive is surely working correctly - or reveal/confirm any problem with the hard disk drive.
For example, after a complete backup the Disk menu -> Surface test -> Write+Read test (especially if used with random data pattern) would surely confirm that all sectors could be written and read back - and the stored data is 100% same as what the disk test wrote, not damaged/altered/corrupted in any ways.
Also if you prefer, you can any time use Report menu -> Send test report to developer option, seeing the complete status of the disk drive (especially when the status changes) can help and give some thoughts.
