I bought 3 WL Drives from GoHardDrives on Amazon. 3TB drives at $65 a piece. I think they're all WD drives according to firmware. I've been looking over the SMART data on all the drives, and I've run a short test, conveyance test, and I am in the middle of a long test right now.

 

Would you all be willing to look over them for me to make sure they seem ok? I'm going to pre clear them after the long test completes.

Drive 3: http://pastebin.com/Yri3pMfB

They all look OK to me, I would post them again after preclearing.

Thank you for the reply. I thought they looked ok too, but I've read some reports that these companies "zero out" the SMART data, but there are sometimes traces left that show the drive is not new.

 

I didn't see any myself, but I'm no expert so I appreciate anyone willing to take a look .

Power on hours and start stop count both indicate they are new drives... or at least it is new SMART data.....
