We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

How to check the drives I received for defects? (alien.top)

Hello everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. I will be receiving my new WD Red Plus - 12TB drives tomorrow along with my Synology 1522+. I was wondering if there's anything I can do to check if the drives I've received are in good condition? Check for bad sectors or anything of that sort?

This is my first foray into the world of a NAS and data hoarding so I was hoping if you all had some tips or must do's you all have to share for someone starting off.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
