I’m looking to add some large Enterprise HDD’s to my array and was wondering if a Long Smart Test would be sufficient before putting the drive into service?
I use Windows/Snapraid and have/use HDD Sentinel and also could run Read and/or write tests.
I’m curious what others testing methods are after a drive is shipped to them before putting it into service?

Run the health check in hdtune and then also look at smart stats. Also check drive health using WD Dashboard software. Then I put into work and observe it.
