    Do a full writing check from beginning to end beforehand.

    But I don’t like my 8TB WD80EFAX ones. They run quite hot @8.8W. and IMO way more noisy than the other models I have of WD Red plus drives.

    If the full check comes back clean, I would only use them for offline and external copies of data as they probably have a lot of running hours in real life. I hope you didn’t pay too much.

    If you got a good deal and don’t have any critical data that’s not back up on them…It’s all good.
