Badblocks are going to happen. But on a brand new drive it really shouldn't. I would RMA while I can to start with a known good drive that will last the maximum number of years. There is also a fair chance they are trying to pass off a refurbished drive as new, and badblocks are one of the only hints if that were the case.
