Is this still the best tool to bless a new HD before putting it into use?
I bought an external Seagate 3TB, 7000rpm drive off amazon for $130.
The thing has horrible reviews. It ran really hot inside the
enclosure. I popped it out and have it in my system were it seems
fine over the pass 3 days. The thing seem so to run way faster than
my 1TB WD Black, so I'm thinking of getting another for my data
drive (I've getting too friggin many 1TB drives around here now).
The one I'm testing now with Bart is going in my movie box. I'll
let Bart finish the read before moving it over. Temps seem to be
between 89 and 93 Deg F.
I still use BST for 24-48 hours and then monitor the SMART attributes
for initial tests of hard drives. Temperatures appear to be good.
