You have good taste.


LOL! It's a learning process if you're paying attention. Note that the funky drive I'm currently playing with is a 1 TB WD Caviar Green. I've had a Black arrive DOA but once they are running it's always been like the Energizer Bunny. Not sure if they still have the 5 yr. warranty though . . .

While I'm here I'll post the Selective Self-test log which supposedly completed without error a few minutes ago. It took just over 4 hours. It doesn't look quite right to me; I thought there would be more verbose details. Am I missing something? I have never run this test before:

  Complete selective self-test log:

SMART Selective self-test log data structure revision number 1
 SPAN  MIN_LBA  MAX_LBA  CURRENT_TEST_STATUS
    1        0        0  Not_testing
    2        0        0  Not_testing
    3        0        0  Not_testing
    4        0        0  Not_testing
    5        0        0  Not_testing
Selective self-test flags (0x0):
  After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.

Some comments on exactly what that means would be appreciated. Do I need to do something else? Should I now have more confidence in this drive?

Thanks again.
