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.

How do you monitor SMART attributes? I mean, what do you look for?
Caution or red flags in crystaldiskinfo? I'm all blue now. Temp is
91F. I'm over 1-day on BST now.
