Why not simply get you data on it and use it for about 2 weeks? Maybe you should mirror important stuff to the old drive for that time. After about 2 weeks of normal usage you should be well out of the beginnig of that bathtub curve (I always had problems when copying data to the new drive when I had a bad one, except DOA of course). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQH6ESAAoJEJwwOFaNFkYc1f0IAK/UpzNp/r4KBYczYIc9jKmJ 3JBvtCWPZkJ1qRXfZtErTk/oamPa+/iapJSoaoj4p45Uvjq5Qh5WDXiAlZs3U805 X1nCc9OMfKc3KGK3bcSKLhSIA1oV1imdgq1OqH/NeioEqOuVy56ZOdvwq6ml2fwM 1ZjBjsp1uqirork5eyZcJGGoNcsJpX3DvTZ7tBwM0gDFHcu4Yj3alEy7PgiYny4W z0/K91jnyBouX7+CwtWKvGNgjGqMxXXp4SUS4MuOKs06p4LFKi/gHBRCAYjuTRK1 O3cKfz4nHMI+F2rH48sCAUgT5K88cdiX40lZpqTWyqADUQO9F1ZzTcg4fZW447s= =s524 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
