Hello,
Recently bought a new Western Digital WD2002FAEX 2TB Black HDD. I have placed it inside of my PC and formatted it through Windows 7 (quick format). So far I have powered it on twice. Doing a quick error scan with HD Tune brings up no issues.
Though I noticed the Spin Up Time is rated rather low in Crystal Disk and HD tune (I assumed low is bad).I then ran a check with Speed Fan and it gave me some worrying results:
Does it look like my drive might fail early? I plan on using it as an OS/everything drive and would like it to last 4 or more years like my current WD Black. If this looks like a problematic drive I can exchange it with Amazon.
Is there anything else I should test before sending it back or cloning my OS onto it?
