Hi all, I am after some advice on understanding the preclear results.
I just completed 1 cycle on my new WD Red 8TB and I was expecting to get some more info in the preclear report. e.g. about any re-allocated sectors etc.
Perhaps I did not set the preclear cycle up correctly? I just used the plugin by gfjardim
EDIT: I just realized S.M.A.R.T was disabled by defualt in the bios (this is a brand new field). Maybe this is why no further info was given in the report? Or was I meant to run "Verify all the disk" or "Verify MBR Only" under the operation drop-down menu in the preclear plugin?
My result:
